James Earl...Carter. A fitting name for a wannabe assassin.
Actually I thought his 10:30 pm rapid response press conference was dead center right. (as in correct)
He took posession of the statement, he said the media could quible about the artfulness of the last two lines (he did say he said it better but GASP! he acted human!)
I think this will be a net plus to voters and another excuse for the NYC effete media to ignore obama the failure.
I agree...i thought he handled the press masterfully. I think he needs to call more press conferences. He’s very good at it. Of course it doesn’t hurt that I agree with every word he said with every fiber of my being!
My thoughts (and I’ve been talking about “the divided nation” here on FR for years):

"Retreat, hell!! We're not retreating. We're just advancing in a different direction!"
Romney should press forward, go for it..own his comments, and make his case to the American people..I suspect that these comments will secretly resonate with a lot of independents....
That is a great comeback! Perhaps you can send it to the campaign.
From the piece:
This is Mitts time, this is his moment. As at the Battle of Gettysburg, neither side was really looking for this fight at this time and in this place, but here it is. And that means going all in.

Amen!
Romney made it quite clear he was speaking of the 47% who will vote for Obama no matter what. He has a high floor quite well. He went on to say big difference between Obama’s 47% and his 47% is that Obama’s 47% like government dependence.
He then went on to say that he’ll have a hard time reaching the (separate) 47% of people who pay no income taxes on a message of tax cuts alone. He made no judgments on people who are dependent on the government or paid no taxes.
Bottom line: if you aren’t voting Obama, you aren’t the 47% he was speaking of.
Apologize??? Did you see his presser last night?
(For once - I'm glad for Mother Jones.)
It's a tempest in a teapot. The author ruined his otherwise good essay with that ending.
