NY Times; Romney Calls 47% of Voters Dependent in Leaked Video
"In a brief and hastily called news conference Monday just after 10 p.m., Mr. Romney acknowledged having made the blunt political and cultural assessment, saying it was “not elegantly stated,” but he stood by the substance of the remarks, insisting that he had made similar observations in public without generating controversy."
Remember The Life of Julia?; the video that says pretty much what Romney said, only for the purpose of getting you to vote for Obama. I prefer iowahawk's take on Julia.

The Democrats think Romney just self-destructed by pointing out, um, THEIR ENTIRE STRATEGY "So [Obama] and his enablers in the media hope you’ll be distracted by Romney’s “gaffe” of criticizing the Democrats’ strategy. They hope you’ll be offended that Romney pointed out what the Dems have been telling you your whole life: that you need the government to provide for you, that you can’t go a single day without a handout. They hope you’re as credulous as the people who voted for them last time."
Romney Tells The Truth About Obama Voters "The truth is Romney should talk more openly about the country’s current split between the takers and the makers. We will have to face it sometime.
"And if Obama wins re-election, this will probably be the last time the tipping point is still even slightly in the favor of the makers."
And Just What Was Wrong With What Mitt Romney Said? "As a Senatorial candidate Romney toured the VA hospital near Boston. While touring the hospital Romney discovered that there was not enough money to buy dairy products for sick soldiers. Romney reviewed the VA medical center’s books to see if there was any funny stuff going on. Everything looked fine, so Romney asked the administrators what they needed. They said they needed milk. Romney made some remark about how he had learned how to milk a cow .. then left. The next Friday the milkman arrived. A truck rolled up with 7000 pints of milk. The delivery man refused to tell the VA medical where the milk came from. When the man who delivered the milk finally retired about two years later he told the hospital staff where the milk came from. Mitt Romney.
"Yeah … here’s a man who doesn’t care." Neal Boortz.
From Legal Insurrection; About that Romney tape "Don’t fall for pronouncements that Romney’s campaign now is over. Such pronouncements now come weekly by a media seeking a self-fulfilling prophecy. Whether it was the insane overreaction to Romney’s comments on Libya or the declaration that the polling showed Romney had lost, every week there will be a new meme circulated."
Bill Kristol comments in the Weekly Standard. "Indeed: Has there been a presidential race in modern times featuring two candidates who have done so little over their lifetimes for our country, and who have so little substance to say about the future of our country?"
From the Wall Street Journal; The spectacle of reporters over the past week hounding Mitt Romney for speaking his mind does not come as a surprise. "Mitt Romney isn't going to have an easy time defeating a president with Mr. Obama's advantages. A friendly press corps surpasses all wealth, sayeth the sages."
