BBC World News segment on the RMoney garbage statements...

Of course, they decide to use a Politico source (Ginger Gibson)

Some snippets - "Romney is having a hard time connecting with middle class voters. These types of remarks will only reinforce perceptions of him being out of touch. Statement indicates he has written off 47% of the electorate - he doesn't care about them."

Is this another Romney gaffe? "Nope - this is what he really thinks, what he says in front of rich conservative crowds for a 50K entry fee. Gaffe or insight? Up for voters to decide."

How will he ride this storm? "He has to go out and talk to the voters who have been slammed by his remark."

(good luck with all that, Mitt!.... )
