Anytime there is a misstep by the Romney campaign, you see folks on here jumping all over it.
Anytime there is a misstep by the Obama Campaign, the same folks dismiss it as irrelevant and desperation by the Republicans.
I expect the responses to this throughout the next few days to reflect my above statement.
In general I'd say you're right, but surely you see the difference between a gaffe and something else?
Biden saying this is a gaffe. Romney babbling off the cuff about why airplane windows can't open is a gaffe. They don't seriously imply anything other than that the person speaking either was caught at a bad time or has a tendency to say not so smart things (which in itself is worth consideration).
What isn't a gaffe is purposely and directly telling a small group of donors that you couldn't give less of a sh**t about 47% of the American population whom most already believe that you look down on, or signing NDAA rather than going through with the veto. These are things that these candidates have done that aren't gaffes, but are awful things that are truths.
There is a difference. This is clearly a misspeaking, and means little more than Ryan's "It's too complicated to explain."
