Show Us Your Papers, Mittens

Vice President Joe "Big F***ing Deal" Biden can be problematic when in an unscripted moment, but when he's on message and fired up, there's no better surrogate for the President or the Dems. Speaking yesterday to the National Council of La Raza, he came up with the tag line of the day, referring to weird Willard "Self Deportation" Romney:

"Mitt Romney wants you to show your papers, but he won't show us his."

Combined with the successful attacks on his job outsourcing record at Bain, weird Willard's refusal to disclose his financial and tax records is going to take a toll politically, at least among those paying attention to the issue. There will always be the low information voters who see Willard's "success" as a dreamy goal for themselves, as they cling precariously to their middle-class jobs, not realizing that the corporatist 1% that Willard's fighting for are the ones causing their economic hardship. The Latino voter has an additional motivation beyond the economic one, and the Vice President neatly summed it up yesterday.
