Mitt's a disingenuous idiot and Southerners (particularly the men) can see right through him.
If he is somehow miraculously elected...it will not be because of the South.

Im learning to say yall and I like grits. Strange things are happening to me, Romney joked while stumping in Pascagoula, Miss., over the weekend. There is no limit to Romney's pandering. But we knew that already.

and IF he adds “Bless Your Heart, Sugar and I’ll take some Sweet Tea Please” . . . I think I’ll get sick to my stomach. Seemed very fake to me. I’m a Texan first, Southerner next and even I’ve never eaten grits. LOL

Saying that “I’m learning to say y’all” is worse than saying it with a Boston accent. What’s next out of this asshat? My favorite meal is peanut butter and nanner samiches?! Will he visit Dale Earnhardt’s grave?

Yep. The idiot felt the need to tell us Michiganders that our trees were the perfect height and that the great lakes aren’t saltwater.

Romney is such a fake. He can argue any side of the issue
as his wife says.

Eatin’ grits is a sterotype of southerners. I’ve lived in Mississippi or Alabama for 49 years. I can count the number of times I’ve consumed a grit on both hands. Waffle house is the only restaurant I know of that serves them. And “cheesy grits”? What the hell is that? I’ve got to go- my possum is gettin cold.

I honestly don't know why any candidate does this. It might have worked 50 years ago, but not in this day and age. I would advise a candidate such as Mitt to just come out and say, “Yeah, I'm a Yankee. I'm not going to insult your intelligence by pretending I'm not. But the problems facing this country aren't limited to the North or South...” (then maybe toss in a couple self-deprecating Yankee jokes).
