Added it to the op...

I hope this is the start of a trend. Shit happens, and anyone -- anyone -- might need to be carried by government assistance for a while. Even people who grow up to be shiny cable news hosts.

JOHN KING, CNN CHIEF NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, let's show you across the country, Anderson, where they live. Those who -- if you go by the tally of those who don't pay income taxes, the darker the state the higher the percentage of people in the state that don't pay income taxes. Now you see a lot in Idaho, that's a Republican state. A decent amount in Utah. You come across here, you have some southern states.

And look, a lot of this is done by poverty. And so yes, there are seniors. The Republicans tend to carry the senior vote. Governor Romney leads at the moment. There are veterans, as you noted, a very key constituency if you're looking at states like Virginia and North Carolina. There are downscale white voters, critical to the Republican coalition in places like West Virginia, in places like southern Ohio. Then you go across the Appalachian trail and down the Ohio River. So a lot of these voters could be Republicans.

And I understand your back-and-forth with Alice. I'll make a personal note here. A lot of Americans of all incomes have struggled the last few years and the risk for Governor Romney is, is it's insulting to them. As a kid, my family was on food stamps for a few years when my dad got sick. We didn't feel entitled and we weren't victims and my father was actually pretty embarrassed about the whole thing. But in the end my mother was grateful that she was able to feed her kids.

When CNN's "it's too close to call" spin meister tells you "we didn't feel entitled" you know you're in trouble. (Or maybe not, in Willard Douchekettle Rmoney's parallel universe, where he - and his minions - thinks the Presidency is his entitlement).

Fuck Rmoney!

one that, by far, MOST of the country can relate to
