It's going to be a tough sell. But that didn't deter Mitt Romney from pitching himself as an unofficial Southerner on his 'away game' in the Deep South. Taking to the podium in jeans and a buttoned-up shirt, the presidential contender told a crowd at the Port of Pascagoula on his first rally in Mississippi that he was gradually becoming one of them.
'I'm learning to say "y'all" and "I like grits". Strange things are happening to me,' he said jokingly. Romney welcomed the endorsement of Governor Phil Bryant during his 15-minute address last night in front of dozens of supporters. He did not mention his Republican opponents at all.

Are you near DFW?
Its like 5 hours from there.
Me and the boy stopped in to Hope about 100 mi from here and we went to see Bill Clintons Childhood home.
I said look boy, here’s the plan....
You whizz through the mail slot and I’ll take a dump on the porch..
Alas! There was an Arkansas State trooper there and we was thwarted.
Romney is PITIFUL!
Dammit!
LOL!! So true!!
Notorious M.I.T.T.!!
I have made my own with raw peanuts, but it isn’t the same as green peanuts. I often make myself roasted peanuts, I love them warm. num num num
The canned ones are too squishy and salty (this coming from a woman who could just about share a salt-lick with the horses).
The only time I get green peanuts here in Texas, is when I remember and time it right- to stop off at DiIorio Farms and Roadside Market in Hempstead- when traveling to and from Houston.
True, but at least Reagan didn`t try to sound like a `Bama boy on a southern campaign swing.
Thats what I'm saying.
The only time I had them was in SC and I got them on the side of the road.
They was squishy slimy and salty with a s raw peanut flavor. They were ok, but I don't get the fanaticism over them.
Southern breakfast in SC on the other hand is like HOLY WOW! Same in Georgia
Texas? not so much.
I cant find a decent breakfast house here.
No, closer to San Antonio.
Another great little shop if you’re ever in South Carolina

I’ve ordered online but I love going in, there are samples to taste and become twisted over which product you are going to purchase. I end up with too many $$$. I love their shop. :p
LOL! That’s funny!

Wow. Dozens of supporters.
I hate grits. How difficult is that, Mitt?
I can’t tell you a good breakfast house but chicken fried steak—Goodson’s Cafe in Tomball.
It isn’t anything as good as it once was— when they were at a small stick house that sat off a deep curve in Hufsmith Rd.
As a girl we would go there before sometimes on Saturdays after an eve at Suburban Ranches Riding Club.
They had a small little room of tables, a little cut out window where a large black woman (I forget her name— need to ask my mom to remember me that) her apron covered in flour and she would sweating, hollerin’ and slinging out the best dang food you even put in your mouth! HUGE cfs!
It was hot as L in there, packed to the gills with lines waiting. And man did it smell delicious! They still have great Chicken fried steak, but it isn’t like the old place.
That makes me misty eyed.
I grew up in them apple orchards

I have heard there is some place in Tomball that is the king of Chicken Fried Steaks
I think it is Goodson’s Cafe. Yom!
Believe it or not I was raised on that stuff in Ohio.
We had this stuff called Mock City Chicken, too that was like a chicken fried steak but it was battered pounded pork.
Nobody makes that anymore.
Seems that back in the 50’s chicken was mega expensive so porky had to fill in.
