A week ago, almost every conservative was united and most were even going to step up to the plate to help Romney. All he had to do was not screw it up. He blew it. Most conservative voters are "ABO" voters: Anybody But Obama. Romney, with his incredible lack of political savvy, has now pushed away many of those voters. In the end, because President Obama is so bad, many conservative voters will go to the polls and vote for Romney as the ABO candidate.

In other words, It doesn't matter what the non-Black guy says or does, us white guys are gonna vote for the non-Black guy.
