FAIRFAX, Va. If President Obama wins re-election on Tuesday, retired Army Colonel Allen Wild knows exactly who blame: the 47 percent. Not the leaked video of Republican nominee Mitt Romney claiming that 47 percent of Americans will vote for Obama because they are dependent on government.
The takers, Wild explained to TPM at a Romney rally on the final day of the campaign Monday here at George Mason University. Those who pay no income tax.
Wild, like many other Romney supporters who turned out see the former governor, was optimistic that Romney will be the next president. The crowd, which filled George Masons Patriot Center while thousands more waited in a spill-over area outside, responded to Romneys stump speech with thunderous applause.
Romney never veered from the closing argument hes been making in swing states throughout the nation in recent days. He warned that another four years under Obama would be disastrous and could drive the nation into the financial rocks. He pitched himself as the candidate of real change.

(10,942 posts)What they don't get is that hard working people vote their wallet, they will vote for Obama. Pollsters undercount those people, they will show up because they realize how important this election is.
