That rag is the largest spanish network in the country nadinbrzezinski Sep 2012 #24
The "rag" poster refers to is NY Daily News. nt Hissyspit Sep 2012 #39

Let's not downplay the accusation Blue Yorker Sep 2012 #6
You haven't shown that he didn't choose that shade of makeup in order to appeal to the Hispanic pnwmom Sep 2012 #15
Or maybe at Univision that tends to be the foundation they have available? dkf Sep 2012 #33

Latino people are all colors of the rainbow, from very dark Afro-Latino to extremely pale. yardwork Sep 2012 #65
I seriously doubt the candidate puts something like that to chance jmowreader Sep 2012 #109
There was NOTHING in my DU OP that went viral that said anything about appealing to voters. Tx4obama Sep 2012 #69
That he wore makeup to a TV appearance? nadinbrzezinski Sep 2012 #26
Bullshit, they meant to make him darker Iliyah Sep 2012 #5
Someone certainly intended it cprise Sep 2012 #94
And all this time I thought he and Boehner had fallen asleep in each others arms in the tanning bed auburngrad82 Sep 2012 #7

The meta-point here is that Romney's such a tool it's easy to believe. nolabear Sep 2012 #14
Phew! abelenkpe Sep 2012 #16
I can accept that. It still raises the question of why SOMEONE IN THE CAMPAIGN doesn't care about patrice Sep 2012 #17
That's my 2 cents LynneSin Sep 2012 #37
Plausible Deniability is a highly MARKETABLE commodity, especialy when DISTRIBUTED amongst patrice Sep 2012 #51
