It hasn't worked. Romney has been unaffected by the attack. Rasmussen still shows Romney ahead in the national polls, 47% to 46%.

Romney doesn't need any help from the media. He's self-immolating. Not a good week for him. But, there's always next week.....if it's not too late.
I copied this from another thread....it's just too damn good not to post up at least twice. Romney's fellow conservatives weigh in....not exactly the liberal media, Joe.
Bill Kristol: “Romney's comments are stupid and arrogant.”
David Brooks: “Romney knows nothing about ambition and motivation”; “divided the nation into two groups: the makers and the moochers”; “he really doesn’t know much about the country he inhabits”; “a country-club fantasy. It's what self-satisfied millionaires say to each other.”
Charles Krauthammer: [N]ot a very smart thing to say”
David Frum: “[T]he worst presidential candidate gaffe since Gerald Ford”
Scott Brown: “That’s not the way I view the world.”
Allen West: “I think he was a little clumsy in doing this"
Donald Trump: “[I]nartfully stated”
Linda McMahon: “I disagree with Governor Romney's insinuation that 47% of Americans believe they are victims.”
Jonah Goldberg: “He's saying it badly.”
