It was a decent speech. Not game-changing, but decent. He actually gave a fairly creditable defense of why free enterprise is the best way to create jobs. He was booed considerably when he repeated his mantra about repealing Obamacare, but got some support when the went through his educational policies (charter schools, parental choice, etc.).
I doubt he changed many minds in the room. Those predisposed to like him probably came away a bit more enthusiastic. Those who merely hate him on the basis that he is a rich white guy, probably still hate him.
Best part of the speech was the way the last parts of it were punctuated with organ stings. I bet that was a first for him.
Organ stings?
I gotta give him credit for having the courage to speak to this group. I wouldn’t bother. He didn’t have much to lose though, 2% and the rest are set against him.
Organ stings? Mitt has music now???
Somebody please tell Mitt. He’s not an actor in a silly soap opera. This is in deadly earnest.
I wouldn’t expect a game changing speech for that crowd. What has happened is like a criminal defense attorney addressing a jury and presenting them with a scyntilla of “reasonable doubt”.
When little seeds of doubt are sewn into your opponant’s garden, the November Harvest might be thinner than assumed.
Obama has assumed that Latinos and Blacks will not require any more tending & fertilization after dumping yards of liberal manure on them over the last three years.
Romney walked in and pointed out to the target audience that all that governemnt fertilizer is nothing more than horse-dung. They resent him for that, but that doesn’t mean he is wrong in their eyes.
I used to play the organ in an inner city church. Your remark about the “organ stings” cracked me up!
Thank you for brightening my day a bit!

The organ stings were strange. Did the NAACP do them when Holder spoke? If not, were they signaling Mitt to get off the stage?
