Let's see. He stayed with his consistent message before a rapid partisan audience and he's somehow at fault. I think he did the right thing, rather than bring forth a cadence like Obama did with his Congressional Black Caucus speech. Come to think of it, what would people say if there were a Congressional White Caucus?

I know many of my comrades in the party will disagree but I don't think Romney was dissing the NAACP. I do think he played them though. Getting booed by the NAACP is simply red meat to the racist elements in the Republican base.

Going on Fox and saying that he got the reaction he expected is both revealing and stupid. It revealed him for the cynical race-baiter that he is. It's stupid because he could have driven the point home with his base by saying that the reaction came as a surprise. He could have said that his message and his goals are good for the poor and disadvantaged and was shocked to learn that his audience couldn't grasp that.

I agree with you 100%. The sound bite of him being booed at a Naacp event will get plenty of air time on Right Wing media outlets for months to come!

This was directed the Right end of the electorate. If not he would of tailored it more to please this crowd today.

Agreed, but I don't really see any upside to even speaking before that group, then again, he'd also be ridiculed for not speaking.

Totally agree that Romney measured his comments to be boo-ed. I'm certain he garnered more than a few votes from that one. He has to know what few votes he would have gotten from black voters won't matter one way or the other. Also agree with bhunter that he would have been criticized for not speaking.
