Conservative North Florida Voters "Romney is too Rich" " Newt understands Plight of Working Class"
i think this is an area Democrats should try to get support in. Romney is a Candidate where it might be easier to get Conservative voters who tend to vote on social issues to vote on economic ones this time. Romney is doing horribly among lower income groups. it's been really fascinating watching this Republican Primary and the Conservative Voters. in many ways it seems like Romney is more of a turn off personally to these conservative voters than he is to liberals. while liberal dislike of Romney is mostly about issues the conservatives don't like him personally.
McCain, Bush, Gingrich are all wealthy. but they still connected to these people. Romney can't and Democrats need to take advantage of it.
<Crum, a Republican small business owner in this sleepy seaside town south of Tallahassee, calls Romney a multi-millionaire who expects to get breaks because he's rich -- be it a low tax rate or the GOP nomination.
But former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Crum says, is a man who understands the plight of the working class and can articulate conservative principles effectively.
Picking up two fishing rods, Crum says the expensive Penn International, priced at almost $400, is like Romney. Meanwhile, the Jarvis-Walker, which he says does everything the other rod does but sells for about $50, is like Gingrich.
"I got a customer," Crum continues. "He has about six rod holders on the side of the boat. He's got six Penn Internationals, and when he leaves port he has them on this side of the boat towards the docks, and when he comes in he puts them on the other side of the boat. We go out there because it's a good day to be alive, God built a world let's go enjoy it, but the elitist wants to impress their friends.">
