President Obama isn’t the only presidential contender hoping to look like a “warrior for the middle class” – Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, and former Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., are both making a play for the middle class.

At a campaign event yesterday, Romney seemed to identify himself with “the people who have been hurt most by this Obama economy,” whom he called “the great middle class — the 80 to 90 percent of us in this country.”
