Cover it, by all means. But some sense of proportion would be nice. The country is on an unsustainable fiscal path, the world is burning down around our ears, and all the media ever fixates on is Romney's latest real or imagined gaffe. Vetting a would be president is important and all, but there is a guy who has that job right now and he's never held to account for anything. As for what Romney said, it's hard to imagine why it's even controversial in light of things like Julia. The whole DNC was one big ode to free abortions, for crying out loud. The Democrats seem pretty comfortable with their strategy of encouraging dependency, so why get bent out of shape if someone points it out? |
The entire campaign is now focused on Romney. Romney can make a case for why he needs to replace Obama, and need to do it. The 47% is a big part of this campaign, and he pretty much said he is writing off half the American population with it, those who don't paytaxes. Call it a carrying on of the Swiftboat strategy of 2004, and it is. The issue is over how people are doing economically, and the focus is on Romney. That is where it is now, and Romney needs to capitalize. The GOP actually needs to find this also.
When a swiftboat comes into play, then it is about the challenger and FULLY about the challenger, as it is now.
