2. The 47% Remarks: As awful as they sounded, I wonder if they really cost Romney many votes. There are a significant number of voters who ponder the question of "makers vs. takers" in our society, and Romney could have (and should have, from a political point of view) made this a key issue in his campaign. A lot of folks are tired of freeloaders from SNAP recipients to TARP recipients. Romney was/is a guy with real credibility on this issue.
Mitt Romney supported TARP. Please stop pretending that those sort of voters really care about TARP. They're only bothered by "welfare" when it goes to the poor or the black or the brown.
