While Mitt Romney tonight over-performed among the groups he struggled with in Iowa -- conservatives, Tea Party supporters, evangelicals -- he didn't fare as well among middle-class and lower-class GOP primary voters.
According to the exit polls, Romney got 51% from those making $200,000 or more, and he got 45% among those making between $100,000 and $199,999 -- higher than the total 36% where he currently stands in New Hampshire.
But among those making less than $30,000, he captured just 31%. And among those making between $30,000 and $49,999, he got 32%. And among those making $50,000 to $99,999, he got 35%.

And this is their most electable candidate. Good times.

(34,451 posts)I think the gleeful way he said that "firing people" quote will be his undoing, context or not. There was too much Mr. Burns-type joy in the way he said it for it not to be true. It's one of the very few genuine things I've actually heard him say. Everything else is just crap spewed by The Plastic Panderer.
