Is Romney really that much different than past presidential candidates? I remember the same talk against Kerry in 2004 and I would think most representatives in Washington don't understand the lifestyle of the 99%.

Romney definitely is out of touch with most of America, I fully believe that, but I still have trouble believing that Romney lacks any knowledge about such an important demographic. That is one aspect that Romney's campaign is good at: knowing which views will resonate with certain people. His advisers even admitted that his campaign will change views with the 'Etch a Sketch' comment.

The female demographic is considered extremely important this election and will probably determine who wins. I would think that Romney's advisers, who probably are not from the 1%, have done a great deal of research figuring out ways to get women voters on his side. Maybe I'm wrong but that is how I see it.
