Romney: Barack Obama Voters 'Dependent On Government

I do so enjoy these Mr Burns moments.

Still, I'd caution against assuming that this will do any actual damage. It might do, of course, but never forget that Labour actually gained Rochdale in 2010.

Of course they are.

And this sort of response is why I disagree that this will all that adversely affect Romney's campaign.  It's insulting to the people who are voting for Obama, but most of the people who would vote for Romney probably agree with it and say "of course".  It's unsurprising to both sides that he'd hold such a view.

Yes; a gaffe is only damaging (genuinely damaging) if it alters perceptions.

So, this is Romney's very own "clinging to guns and religion" moment?

They shall take the income tax I owe, from my cold, dead hands.

This is hilarious coming from somebody in Greece, the world capital of tax evasion that has caused relentless stress on markets worldwide.

He's actually German.
