Here’s a good article by Bryan Preston at PJ Tatler on Governor Romney’s address to the NAACP. He doubtless knew that his promise to get ObamaCare repealed would not go over well but he repeated it anyway, generally in the context of employment. His positions on education and the need for more employment (the Black unemployment rate is 14.4 percent) went over well.
Mitt Romney’s speech played surprisingly well with today’s audience, and may have helped him shed his unfortunate image as a panderer. It certainly raises an interesting question. Given Mitt Romney’s 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.
