Politics: The GOP candidate showed the content of his character at the NAACP convention by not pandering to blacks beset by illegitimacy, poverty, crime and joblessness — and an indifferent president who stayed away.
For refusing to pander to black voters in his speech to the NAACP convention, Mitt Romney was accused by MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell of pandering to his white base.
The speech, O'Donnell insisted, was part of a GOP "Southern strategy" used to appeal to "racial and racist voting." Over at the Daily Beast, Michael Tomasky came unhinged, contending that Romney's attempt to describe the plight of black Americans under President Obama's hope and change, and offering real solutions to fixing the government that oppresses them, made him "a spineless, disingenuous, supercilious, race-mongering pyromaniac."

FUBO!!!
And the chances of Romney picking him for VP are....?
if Romney was pandering to his “white base” when at the NAACP event..
What was Biteme pandering to? the space between his ears when at the NAACP event?
If I win the power ball.. He will pick him.
I don’t buy lottery tickets.
And the chances of Romney picking him for VP are....?
As a 1st term rep the chances are slim and none.
Uh yeah lady. I think that ya may be partially right? But quite honestly, don’t ya think that even Daffy Duck would have a good shot at beating this half black clown?
Absolutely spot on, RR. There have been a lot of people, many of them right here on FR, who bemoan the fact Romney won't jump into the middle of every little dust up. But as you said, that is for the Veep. Romney has done a magnificent job so far staying on message; it's still the economy and we're not stupid. The Dems would love nothing more than for Romney to take the bait and go chasing down these rabbit trails.
Stay focused my FRiends, it's gonna get ugly.
That IS looking like a dream.
How come Romney was so good at going after Perry and then Newt then RS, but now Obama has him on the defensive the opposite of the primary?
Romney/West in 2012!
It’s like Caroline Kennedy writing a book about how WONDERFUL public schools are, and when Imus asked her if she sent HER kids to public schools, she stuttered (as usual) and finally said....”uh, no”. HYPOCRITES!!!!!!!
Romney is wasting his time with this. The last election showed they vote in a bloc and they will this time as well.
No, I don't.
