New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) — who Mitt Romney quoted in a speech on Monday — has joined a growing number of Republicans in backing away from the former Massachusetts governor’s claim that 47 percent of Americans are dependent on government and won’t vote for Republicans anyway. Asked if she was offended by the remarks, “Martinez said New Mexico has many people who are living at the poverty level and their votes count just as much as anyone else.”

6. Uh no. Republicans CANNOT break away from Mittwit.

They are permanently linked to Mittwit, and doomed to failure whenever their elections are up.

I expect a massive turnover for the House enough to retake the House and five Republican seat lost (four unexpectedly).
