I am sure Romney went hoping to get a hostile response. This way he can claim he went to TRY to make peace with NAACP but those coloreds were rude to him- win win.

Except it will not sway one vote.
No good can possibly come from using this vast wasteland of error and deliberate deceit. You should get off of it and warn others away. You should make sure your children and grandchildren know what a corrupt and morally bankrupt institution it truly is.

What a firecracker!

Best part of the speech had to be when he threw in some scripture to criticize the right wing. They HATE it when the left uses the Bible!

I'd like to believe that Mitt went to the NAACP hoping to engage in some sort of meaningful dialogue, but it just doesn't ring true on any level. I believe it was designed as part of a slide-show for the wing-nuts: "Here's one of me talking tough to the blacks" etc.

He's just despicable.

While I don't think it's necessarily wrong Romney would use the NAACP as a photo op (god knows the insincere photo op has been abused by every politician), I think it's pretty damn smarmy for him to be so transparent about it. He clearly has no real desire to be there, no real desire to try to get his views out and appeal to people.

It come back down to the fact that Romney really can't appeal to people at all. He can't mask the fact he has no interest in talking to people he doesn't care about- which is everyone that can't donate a sizable amount to his campaign- or people he can't use.

He doesn't want to change the world, he just wants to be president.

And I saw another report on CNN last night that said Romney knew he would get boo'd and that the comment was on purpose.

He will say ANYTHING.

"He doesn't want to change the world, he just wants to be president."

That is so purely True--I'm kind of amazed that it isn't his campaign slogan.

As the standard-bearer of the party that desperately wants to stop progress on all fronts and return to a mythical, golden past, it's not something they would see as problematic. And it might get everybody to stop pestering him with questions that he can't/doesn't want to answer. Kad, you should copyright it and sell it to the GOP.

I'm waiting for him to claim that he's 1/64th black, or some such, so that he can fairly compete with Obama.

The comment he made about being the only candidate that will help black folks made me scream with laughter.

He also told Bostonians he would be to the left of Ted Kennedy on gay rights when he was running for Kennedy's seat. When reminded of this ten years later, he couldn't BELIEVE people were bringing up "ancient history."

Also, can we just talk about the easter egg dip hair dye job? It's looking worse every week.

Namo--is that a quote or a paraphrase? If it's a quote, the video clip should be in heavy rotation in the Dem's ads in the Hate States.

I know folks here were disappointed when Obama chose Biden as VP rather than Clinton, but Biden relates to folks in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania like no one else. He is invaluable on the campaign trail.

I was one of those people Madbrian. I wanted Obama to pick Hillary and even though I liked Biden and I thought Clinton was stronger and would give Obama the election, I wanted to see Obama /Clinton 2008. I was wrong. Biden has really impressed me and I just love the guy!
