Romney campaign says "corporations are people" comment is a defining moment

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/13/romney-sees-political-gain-in-controversial-remark/

(...)

As Romney continues to pound this theme on the campaign trail, his top campaign aides are engaging in a full court press fundraising effort highlighting it. Within hours of his "corporations are people" comment, Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades sent out a fundraising email describing it as a "defining moment." In the first 24 hours, the campaign had raised more than $25,000 from this pitch, communications director Gail Gitcho said. And the campaign plans to expand the pitch pushing this message in the form of a national direct mail piece.

By embracing this comment and theme, the Romney campaign is clearly hoping to drive a wedge between the business community and Obama at the same time using this
"defining moment" to further highlight Romney's business background for undecided Republican and independent voters.

2. Or

a "Dukakis on a tank" moment.

YEs, this really should highlight his business accomplshments as a corporate person. How his little person self bought up corporations, laid other persons off then pocketed the profits into his own persons pockets. Yes, Mitt, you are a perfect example of the corporation as a person.
