Mitt Romneys speech played surprisingly well with todays audience, and may have helped him shed his unfortunate image as a panderer. It certainly raises an interesting question. Given Mitt Romneys courage to address an audience he could expect to be hostile to his message, when will President Barack Obama show similar courage and clearly explain and defend his policies before, say, a school choice coalition convention or the Conference of Catholic Bishops?Will Governor Romney get more Black votes than is generally anticipated? With the apparent unhappiness in sectors of the Black population -- even the more rabid sectors -- he well may; he certainly should.
Never.....none of us should hold our breath waiting for that to happen!
