[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I don't think it particularly helps either side, but it weakens the Romney attacks. Romney is spending a lot of energy assaulting Obama's failed policies that have left a weakened economy. This counters his message of how horrible the current economic status is and how much we desperately need change. Today, many of Romney's sound bites have had to be "the numbers are not as promising as they sound" which takes away from the offensive and puts Romney ever so briefly on the defensive, basically defending his previous comments about how bad our situation is. Now he's spending time talking about those who have fallen off the rolls or retired and how if everyone was accounted for, the current unemployment rate would be around 11%. This dilutes Romney's time and coverage and diverts him away from his message. Unfortunately, one of Romney's problems is that there are *MANY* things that have crept up on him that have this effect of diverting and diluting his message including poorly vetted comments (like the 47%).
