One way or the other, those tapes and all of his bumbling around like an ass is GOOD for us. Even if they do not turn off a single Romney voter (and I know for a fact they have), his comments have gotten the Dems fired up.

It turns out that Romney is a good candidate for us. And I don't mean that sarcastically. Without even trying, he is polarizing. Just Mitt being Mitt is enough to drive a Dem to vote.
