Using 'whip' in the south is also pretty common.

It was, as Romney was doing with y'all, pandering to the southern base.

Does he do dog-whistles? sure. Was this one. I don't think so.

All I'm saying is let's be sure its a spade before we call it one, otherwise it loses meaning.

Does anyone who disagrees with you 'carry water' for the GOP or newt?
