" Mitt Romney’s American Safari"

By Jonathan Capehart


"As we learned and saw during his quest to secure the Republican nomination, Mitt Romney has a habit of doing two things he apparently hopes will ingratiate himself to voters. One is flat-out pandering. The other is waxing amazed at what he just saw or who he has just met as if he were a traveler in a strange and distant land for the first time. This latter trait is so disconcerting that when the former Massachusetts governor was making his way through the South in March, I made this pithy observation.

With regard to Mitt Romney, poor guy, the only second time he’s had catfish ever and cheesy grits and a biscuit, it’s almost as if we’re watching Mitt Romney on safari in his own country."

Whole highly recommended article at

And for those that will bemoan this action, the next step after claiming that any election we lose is stolen is to make the case that voting doesn't matter.

We will never win elections by staying home to show our displeasure.
