Romney uses Linguistic Dog Whist Today on Hannity's radio show

For the past couple weeks, I noticed that Mitt Romney has been using the linguistic habit of using the word "Democrat" as an adjective. He did it on Hannity's radio show two weeks ago and he did it again today when he addressed Operation Hilarity in Michigan. He told Hannity, "Look, this is, this is the old kind of dirty tricks that you've seen in politics before and the idea of trying to drum up Democrat voters to come in and vote against me, that's just the wrong way to go."

He must be at a low point if he is giving Hannity any of his time in this eleventh hour of his campaign.
