No, they're not camping out at the Iowa caucuses. Not yet, anyway. Better yet, the messaging is now part of the political parlance, so much so that hard core conservatives are sweating Romney's wealth.
Over the weekend, the wingnut (but influential, supposedly) Union Leader in New Hampshire endorsed Newt Gingrich. The publisher explained their decision to Fox News:
"I think — and this is crazy, but so are we — that Gingrich is going to have a better time in the general election than Mitt Romney,” said McQuaid. “I think it’s going to be Obama’s 99% versus the 1%, and Romney sort of represents the 1%.”
This is a tacit confession that the Occupy message is working. Of course, New Hampshire's king conservatives are too stupid to realize that Gingrich isn't exactly working class—he made $2.5 million last year, and nothing says "1 percenter" like million-dollar credit lines at Tiffany & Co.
But hey, it's hard to be a conservative—trying to balance their worship of extreme wealth, in an environment where it has become a massive political liability.
