Mitt Romney Is Driving The GOP To Pieces: Countdown Day 46

WASHINGTON -- The attack on Mitt Romney was tough, even vicious.

As expressed at a now-infamous fundraiser in Florida, the Republican nominee's "ideology, pitting the 'makers' against the 'takers,' offers nothing," the writer said. "No sympathy for our fellow citizens. No insight into our social challenge. No hope of change."

They are not very happy with the Mittster.
This isn't going so well and important people are noticing. Unfortunately for the GOP the voters seem to have long since noticed.

They are going to be too late and too little.
