Candy Crowley weighs in on Romney's change of tune on 47% comments

Mitt Romney is revisiting his now infamous, secretly-record remarks about the 47% of Americans who don't pay income tax, telling Fox News last night that he doesn't stand behind those comments after all.

CNN's Candy Crowley weighs in on this change of tune on Starting Point this morning, saying that "the shift is quite likely how they decided to deal with it in the debate."

"My sense of this is that perhaps he thought the president was going to bring it up at the debate and that was the answer he had read," Crowley explains "I think that was the ready answer and perhaps they wanted it out."
