Corrected it for ya. McCain's been drooling for about a decade now.

I was just being generous.

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.

Right on target, John! I can hear it being muttered in trailer park living rooms across American; "See, all them Obama luvin' _______ want is a handout."

Ha, ha,ha, ha,........You're joking, right? This is Mitt Romney we're talking about, isn't it? A political Chameleon if there ever was one. If you want to know what Mitt believes in you must first pick a time period and an election cycle. I don't think Mitt himself even knows what he really believes in.

Now, that is just plain stupid.

I'll bet that even a minority of Repubs jumped ship or simply stayed home when it came right down to it....

Well, I guess that blows up Zeke and Finn's points about the Repubs having brilliant strategists.

You aren't making any sense Whell other than proving that you would've done better heeding your own advice.

It was intended to be, to answer the absurdity of the idea of Romney's appearance being calculated to race bait.

It was. Did you watch the whole speech or just the Faux News highlights?

I don't think it's absurd at all. It's by far the most plausible interpretation of both his decision to speak there and the contents of the speech. This was Romney's Philadelphia, Mississippi moment.
