Romney’s comments ripple across battleground map
DES MOINES, Iowa – Mitt Romney’s off-handed comment that he doesn’t worry about the 47 percent of Americans who pay no income taxes has quickly entered the bloodstream in the presidential campaign’s most hard-fought states.
His comment, in a video revealed this week, is prompting expressions of shock – but also shrugs – from Nevada to Florida to New Hampshire and the handful of battleground states in between.
Will it sway an election expected to be close?
