Actually, I've been quite surprised about it. It's not what I'd call a particularly forgiving crowd, on that subject nor many others.
We don't expect him to get it, that's virtually a given ... but I don't know that I've ever seen it so readily forgiven. I definitely don't see the average person getting anywhere near this much slack on the subject, I've seen that borne out repeatedly over the years.
I really believe it speaks to the sheer sense of desperation for a candidate as much as anything.
