How important was his report on the 47% video to the outcome of this election?
I figure it was good for couple of points.
Way to go Dave!

I've been following David since he wrote for The Nation several years ago.

(9,753 posts)The whole "47%" tape was a slow-acting poison pill that took a few weeks to kill Romney's chances. The coup de grâce was the phony Jeep ads.

(13,418 posts)I have loved David for years!!!!!!!
I have a bumper sticker that says "I'm the 99%." I want to add the "And the 47%, too."
I really think that is what KILLED the RobMe campaign.
To be real, it was the woman/man who had the guts to video that speech by RobMe....that is who should be thanked. That person trusted David to get it out and keep her/his identity PRIVATE!!!!
I love whoever videoed his speech in Palm Beach. Bless her/him!!!!!

(17 posts)I've been fan of David Corn forever. And I do applaud his efforts to get the truth for us. He has brought integrity and honesty and fairness to journalism. But then, in spite of the whiny-con naysayers, that's what progressive journalists do, as opposed to their "conservative" counterparts. Progressives like David Corn go for the truth, no matter that it might bring down a few liberal "sacred cows". Thanks, Mr. Corn. I look forward to more great writing and reporting from you.
