What with Barack Obama re-establishing a poll lead of a couple of percentage points, and with just seven weeks to go before election day, Mr Romney's advisers had decided it was time to unveil a more pointed pitch. But no sooner had they promised more "specifics" than footage emerged of Mr Romney getting all-too-specific at a fund-raising event in Florida in May. In the blurry clip, Mr Romney told a group of rich donors that "Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace" (has he ever met any?), and so America's only option was to "kick the ball down the field". He suggested that if his father had really been Mexican (rather than born to Mormon exiles in Mexico), he would have had the election sewn up. His diplomatic credentials assured, he then lamented that Mr Obama spent so much time pitting "one American against another", before explaining that the 47% of Americans who did not pay income tax "believe that they are victims" and could not be persuaded to "take personal responsibility and care for their lives". This feckless bunch, he averred, "believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it...and they will vote for this president no matter what."
