Yep. Mittens took a load of crap over his 47 percent remarks.

Instead of walking them back - he should have highlighted them and made it a key campaign agenda. They were TRUE. And I would have supported him a great deal more.

I'd disagree. 47% was an attack on anyone who's ever drawn a government check, ranging from civil servants, laid-off workers to SS pensioners. Between 47%, "like being able to fire people" and the Detroit bailout WSJ, Romney alienated key Rust Belt constituencies to enlarge his margins in solidly red states. And still lost the popular vote by 5%. Walker's response was, at worst, an attack on Obama.
