“If Romney is the nominee I doubt he hets a VP like Palin. He’ll lose badly. Landslide numbers.”

Really? Did you read all of what actually said?

The scandal here is a major network’s willingness to so distort what someone is saying in such a serious situation.

He made a completely rational serious comment about what he intends to work on.

To completely change the meaining of what he said the way Soledad O’Brien did deserves its own story about how the media once again is abusing the public’s trust when they misuse the airwaves to broadcast deliberate falsehoods.

Those who follow politics know what he said and meant but those who only get their news in sound bites will only hear that Romney does not care about poor people. He’s a rich 1%er etc.. Just something else to inspire democrats and democrat voters to, get out the vote. I don’t see republicans, especially conservatives, getting out the vote for Romney.

I'm no big Romney fan...but his latest statement about the poor-middle class-and rich...seemed to me to be perfectly logical and actually intuative. I thought it was the best "semi-off-the-cuff" remark he has made in the whole campaign...and sadly is being turned around to where he won't make anymore of them.

I actually feel like I learned something about the guy by that remark...he at least understands priorities.

He was dead right. There is a safety net for the poor, and he sees no reason to worry about the rich. The middle class should be the priority.

Now whether or not he could (or would) successfully do anything about it is a completely different story.

Like I said...I'm no Romney fan...but I will give him a +1 for that statement. Credit where due.
