As the Boston Globe’s Johnson writes: “Simply put, the Republican presidential nominee wrote off almost half the people he wants to lead as president of the United States.”

And: “Romney classified this 47 percent as those Americans who pay no federal income tax, though fact-checkers quickly noted that in roughly half of those cases, the people are senior citizens on fixed incomes, and the remainder in the group include students and members of the US military.”

Plus, there’s more nuance to these voters than Romney’s dissection. In 2008, Obama actually won those making more than $200,000 a year, and McCain and Bush won those making $50,000-$75,000, according to exit polls."

So Romney ended up attacking what should be part of his base, low-income white voters.
