3. maybe they should fuck with Jimmy Carter's grandson
Mon Sep 17, 2012, 10:57 PM

The video was revealed in a major scoop by Mother Jones with help from video researcher James Carter (grandson of Jimmy Carter), who reportedly helped convince the anonymous videographer to release it to the media. It is reminiscent of Obama's remarks at a 2008 fund-raiser that people laid off in the Midwest and Pennsylvania "cling to guns and religion." Not coincidentally, the Obama campaign now requires people at most fund-raisers to surrender their cell phones.

The timing of what can only be described as a Romney super-Jenga moment could hardly have been worse for his campaign. Following a Politico report on bitter infighting amid the campaign consultants, the Republican nominee's staff announced a focus on specific policy prescriptions and new issues, including foreign policy. But the leaked video seems likely to dominate the coming news cycles, and the Obama campaign wasted little time in pressing its advantage.
