Video a major blow to Romney campaign
Mitt Romney's floundering presidential campaign may not recover from videos posted on the internet over the past two days by Mother Jones magazine.
In a previously undisclosed speech to millionaires at a private fund-raiser in Boca Raton on May 17th, Mr Romney discounted almost half the US population as “dependent upon the government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing, to you-name-it”.
The 47 per cent of Americans who do not pay federal income tax (in fact 46.4 per cent, according to the Tax Policy Centre) “will vote for the president no matter what”, Mr Romney said.

Romney will be just fine. Wall Street will see to that. Wall Street needs a faux "opponent" for the November elections, when Wall Street re-installs the little black monkey Obama in the White House.
