The 47% comment might just work in Romney's favor. Some of those 47% might just realize what he was really talking about and some of those 47% might just wake up and support Romney cause they don't consider themselves a total waste and burden on society.

Fact is it hurt him ...bad. But he can't get away from it. And the fact is that 47% of the American people DO NOT see themselves as victims that the government owes food and housing. Only thing he can do is say that it came out wrong, here is what I meant to say. But he can't linger on it, it will only hurt him more
BTW, his runnign mate sees it as the 30 % not 47%
