Romney: Barack Obama Voters 'Dependent On Government

[Statesman]

If that's true, they're still outliers. This is going to damage Romney heavily.

This week will probably be looked at as the week Romney lost the election, and we haven't even gotten to the debates. Something has seriously backfired with his campaign the last month.

I think Romney ran a campaign too far to the right when he really should have been appealing to the center all along, and he's done a poor job of re-centering his campaign around independents. If you're trying to be a president for all Americans, it's unwise to just write off 47% of the electorate from the start, even if cracking 53% seems unlikely.

One thing is for certain, Mitt seems like he's unable to go a week without making a major gaffe, or without having something he said or did months or years ago come back to haunt him.
