truly afraid of the reception he would receive, his campaign could have pled 'scheduling conflicts.' It's done all the time when a candidate does not wish, for example, to appear with another candidate of the same party at the same event.

I think Romney figured by going, he would get a negative reaction from those attending which, once publicized with a wink, wink, nod, nod, would energize his racist base.

No blacks or independents were going to vote for Romney because he appeared to 'face the music.' But a bunch of previously fence-sitting racists now have reason, if they still needed it, to pull the lever for the white guy in November.

Just my opinion of how a psychopathic slimebucket like Romney thinks and operates.
