Mr. 47%. Poetic Justice?
That is the percentage of the vote Mitt Romney is likely to wind up with, according to the non-partisan Cook Political Report. the report says new votes in from Maryland put Romney at 47.56 percent. He predicts with certainty that with all of New York and California counted, Romney will end up below 47.5 percent of the vote.
Rounded, of course, that would put the final tally at 51-47.

No, 'cause that makes it look like the folks he belitted (the 47%), are the ones who voted for him.

If there is a God, He's probably not a mormon or at the very least He doesn't like Mittens.

Which makes VOTERS look stupid, not Mitt.

bet there is a joke in there somewhere.
OMFG.
He is recorded on video dissing the shit out of "47% of the electorate".
So for him to get the vote of "47% of the electorate" makes it look like the people he was slamming, were the ones that voted for him, ie - he called them stupid and they voted for him anyway.
You don't understand that? Really?
