I appologize that I don’t have the time to write a diary, but I thought BMG would be interested in this Washington Post video of an employee of New Hampshire’s Red Arrow Diner asking Mitt (I gave Massachusetts health insurance) Romneyabout affordable health care. The woman speeks about her husband working two jobs, the family paying $1000/month for coverage, and co-pays and prescriptions for three sick children – including her Crohn’s inflicted daughter who was forced out of college because of the disease.
Feel free to coment below or steal this for a new diary. The video is six minutes long.
Please share widely!

I heard about a video today of Willard running about without a shirt in an early campaign ad. Does anyone know where that precious campaign moment can be found?

Wow. That is one heck of a video. Compare Mitt trying to cope with someone actually questioning him with reality, someone who wasn’t part of a choreographed campaign stop, to someone like Bill Clinton who had actual empathy with real people like that woman. I would have liked to have seen our Dem candidates handling the same situation.

the NH woman’s parting comment was priceless. Mitt coming into that restaurant for an hour promoted his candidacy at her personal expense (in tips). I wonder what she found in the bottom of the tip jar after Willard & crew left? It’s all well and good to talk the talk, but you can;t hide it when you don’t walk the walk.
