Romney 贏的了 Florida 初選,以下得到提名的路就平坦多了。但他在 CNN 的訪談中說不關心很窮的人("not concerned about the very poor")又無意中給了民主黨炮彈。在共和黨辯論中隨便就拿一萬美元來打賭,現在又說不關心很窮的人,說明他太富有,不合適當總統,能贏大選的可能性是非常小的。

這裡還有他其它的類似例子:
-- his $10,000 bet with

-- "I like being able to fire people," even though he was referring to insurers (at speech in New Hampshire)
-- "There were a couple of times I wondered if I was going to get a pink slip" (during remarks in New Hampshire)
-- saying that questions about economic inequality are "about envy" (on "TODAY" back in January)
-- and the ultimate release of his 2010 tax returns, which showed him paying an effective tax rate of less than 15%.
