As we reported earlier, a video of Mitt Romney making comments about a large percentage of American voters has made major waves on social media as the clip pings around the internet, and now the hashtag #47percent has begun to trend in the wake of the controversial video’s impact. Even earlier today, we posted about another piece that had been getting lots of attention on the web centering on Romney, and a campaign that seemed to be flailing as swing voters have not been as effusive as many in the GOP anticipated — Politico did an in-depth look at some of the foibles attributed to the Romney camp in recent weeks. Romney has a habit of saying things with a grain of truth, but in a way so offensive it is off-putting to only a small number of listeners — critics always say the GOP candidate comes off as difficult to relate to and plastic — but the new video is a level up for Romney in lack of relatability, which is saying a lot. Currently on Twitter, the hashtag #47percent is trending with a lot of activity, as well as the hashtag #RomneyEncore . Users seem to be entirely not favorably viewing the comments, with tweets such as: I too believe that all Americans are entitled to a minimum level of food, housing, and healthcare. #47percent — David Roberts (@drgrist) September 17, 2012 I am not the #47percent but I would rather my taxes support American families than a dancing horse. — Jo Paoletti (@jbpaoletti) September 18, 2012 Mitt RoPeyton Manning outgunned by Matt Ryan as Broncos lose to Falcons

Maybe, just maybe, the NFL is ready to complete its transition of elite-tier quarterbacks. Not that Peyton Manning should be harshly judged because he had one unfortunate performance against Atlanta.
