| Romney's inTrouble, Part 94 |

| Who had the worst week in Washington? Mitt Romney -- again. Modern politics has killed at least two things: privacy and context. Mitt Romney (re)learned that lesson this past week when an amateur video from a fundraiser went viral. It shows him telling a group of well-heeled donors that, among other things, "there are 47 percent who are with [President Obama], who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them." That's an opinion. One which I happen to share, mostly. I wonder why no one has done any polls about what that number "really" is? Anybody got any facts to the contrary? Mitt Romney, for forgetting that the camera is always rolling, you had the worst week in Washington. Congrats, or something. Hey! Wasn't there some little dust-up in Libya? Oh, but that had nothing to do with Obama or his policies, that's right. Have a candidate for the Worst Week in Washington? E-mail Chris Cillizza at chris.cillizza@wpost.com. Hey, Chris, I have one... |

| #5 The only poll that counts is the one on election day. Attorney General Holder might disagree. |

| #3 If most of these polls are over-sampling democrats, that means Romney is really ahead in the polls--not even. |

| #2 Maybe off topic here, maybe not. But Sarah Palin is urging R&R to "break through the liberal media filter", which I would assume includes WAPO, so that America can have a come to Jesus moment. Hey, Mitt, Sarah might be right. Why do you let WAPO frame the debate? Why do you let WAPO tell you that you had a bad week? Tell it like it is and call BS on them. |

| #1 At the start of the week Romney and Champ were tied in the polls. At the end of the 'worst week in Washington', Romney and Champ were ... tied in the polls. Champ should be worried for when Romney has a good week -- say, the first week in November. |
