Mitt Romney's Resentment

Amy Davidson gets it:

Romney has been running a campaign centered on resentment, in many forms: the resentment directed at the “successful” that he imagines is driving his critics; the resentment he is trying to fan in his base voters; and, increasingly and most strangely, his own. Romney's resentment has become a matter of temperament, of policy, and of politics. He and his wife, Ann, have made it clear that they take offense when his good will is questioned. Fixated on what he sees as the jealous motives of his critics, he misses the important truths about our economy and the reality of people’s lives that might have informed his agenda. He also reveals a great deal about himself.

Also new on the 47% story, Obama has appeared on Letterman, saying, "My expectation is if you want to be president, you've got to work for everybody, not just for some." But Tobin is convinced that in spite of all the media attention, this won't sink Romney.
