Romney does himself no favors

How can a guy who has been running for President for a decade open himself up for another line of attack that he's elitist and out-of-touch?  I'd like to think Allahpundit has it right here:

This was recorded awhile back at a fundraiser, just like Obama’s infamous “bitter/clinger” comments in 2008. Remember how big that blew up? That’s how we ended up with President McCain.

And everybody was suitably shocked when then-candidate likened his low bowling score to the Special Olympics.  But Romney doesn't have the advantage of a press that's, um, objective and non-partisan.  MSNBC will be running stories around the clock about how deeply Obama cares about all those people he put into poverty.  Meanwhile, Romney tithes to his church?  Tax dodger!
