Conservatives Lose It Over Romney’s Gaffe, “I’m Not Concerned About the Very Poor”

Romney is in all sorts of hot water with his conservative supporters, who are freaking out over the ten billionth major gaffe of his campaign. 
In case you hadn’t heard, yesterday Romney followed up his Florida win with a mindbogglingly tactless remark:
“I’m not concerned about the very poor,”
Romney said in an interview with CNN’s Soledad O’Brien.
“What is wrong with this guy?” asks conservative opinionator Jonah Goldberg in The National Review.
And over at the conservative journal of record The Weekly Standard, John McCormack writes,
Romney’s remark isn’t merely tone-deaf, it’s also un-conservative.
Readers in the comment threads of both pieces had even more colorful things to say about Romney’s gaffe:
Romney loses people when he opens his mouth.
and
Romney will get destroyed in November.
