Ohio Showdown: Obama 1,500 vs About 100 for RMoney...
<snip>
Despite what had seemed to be a speech showdown, the two events were not of the same scope.
Obama spoke for more than 50 minutes, more than doubling Romney's comments, in what his campaign called the first in a series of major economic speeches. The settings offered different optics as well; Romney went coatless with his sleeves rolled up before about 100 people; Obama gave a formal address to 1,500 people.
Romney's reference to Obama's statement about the private sector "doing fine" recalled what was largely seen as a presidential gaffe last week. Even though Obama's aides said he was taken out of context, Obama conceded his misstep on Thursday, joking "It wasn't the first time. It won't be the last."

The bridge is ready to collapse, but John Boehner refuses to repair any infrastructure. 
don't you worry your little head about PA. The last time PA voted for a repuke President was 1988. Meanwhile NJ voted for Bush in 1988. How about worrying about Jersey? 
not considered a "gaffe"?
Rmoney's "private sector" buddies ARE doing fine.... especially when you have Dimon basically dismissing a $2 billion gambling loss as inconsequential.
But then again, make believe thought money is very hard to cash.
Hope that helps.
