What percent of the country has Romney NOT offended?

He offended the 47% of people who don't pay federal income taxes.

He *also* offended the 47% of people who are core Obama voters.

12% of Americans live in California, and 37% of us did not vote for Obama but were still lumped in with the rest of us.

By my math, this leaves 20.5% of the country that he has not insulted... yet.

I don't think he's insulted Swiss or Cayman bankers. Yet. Probably. Okay, he probably has.

some time ago saying that certain trees, like in Minnesota, were the right size as contrary to the majority of American trees who apparently are not.
