I think I understand now why Obama didn't attack Slick Willard last night on his 47% comments: Slick had a well-rehearsed apology and was just waiting for the chance to deliver it in front of a broad audience. Instead, O's silence deprived him of that opportunity, so tonight Slick had to go on Faux News and deliver his little schtick to a much smaller audience consisting mostly of the base. Here's what the Huffington Post had to say about it:
In an interview Thursday night with Fox News, Romney was asked what he would have said had the "47 percent" comments come up during his debate in Denver on Wednesday night with President Barack Obama.
"Well, clearly in a campaign, with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question-and-answer sessions, now and then you're going to say something that doesn't come out right," Romney said. "In this case, I said something that's just completely wrong."
He added: "And I absolutely believe, however, that my life has shown that I care about 100 percent and that's been demonstrated throughout my life. And this whole campaign is about the 100 percent."
