"SNIP............................................

And it's consistent with what a Republican friend told me years ago.

I remember being worried about former RNC chair Ken Mehlman's outreach to blacks, a good eight years ago. And a Republican friend corrected me, telling me not to worry about black voters defecting - the Republicans didn't want or expect their votes. What they were actually doing was trying to convince white suburban middle-of-the-road soccer moms that Republicans weren't a hateful, intolerant, racist party because - see! - we're wooing blacks!

1. He's about 20 years behind the times.

It's no longer enough to pretend to like blacks.

If Romney wants to woo white women he'll have to pretend to like gays.

Time to shake up the etch-a-sketch.

5. You are so right!!

I don't know how he's going to be able to pretend to
like gays. Will gay republicans stand with him?

3. Yup. It is a really strange headline. Why I read the story. I didn't understand.

4. Wait until the blacks find out Mormons don't really like blacks....

its like Trump saying he has a good relation with the blacks.

This is a factually correct statement.

6. We know.

Which is why he's polling in the single digits among AA voters.
P.S. Which blacks does Donald Dump have a good relationship with? Jack Black? Rebecca Black?

8. Exactly....

7. Since when have rethugs liked blacks?

They can tolerate Latinos, some of them are teabaggers ala Rubio, but blacks they hate with a passion. I doubt rethug women who vote for Mittens or are leaning toward Mittens like blacks to begin with, so there is no need to woo these white rethug women.
