If by that she means that Romney should have kept his mouth shut, I'd agree. But really, his remarks were just a Good Old Boys' disdain for those not wealthy enough or corporate enough to have their own tax loopholes.

Most people would probably identify Republicans with the interests of the wealthy. People who want to change that perception will have to work on policy, as well as on communication.
