Following Tuesday’s Republican presidential debate in Las Vegas, Democrats were feeling good: We’ve finally got Mitt Romney on the run, they said.
And so they set about taking him on. On Wednesday, there was the video about Romney’s strange “I’m running for office, for Pete’s sake!” gaffe from the DNC.

Democrats really like that one.
“To Mitt Romney, houses aren’t places where you build a family and raise children, they’re investments used to make a profit,” DNC spokesperson Brad Woodhouse said on a conference call with reporters Friday.
The DNC plans to make a big deal out of the comment — launching a website, RomneyHousingPlan.com, to make sure this web ad about Romney’s comments lives on:
