It's going to be a tough sell. But that didn't deter Mitt Romney from pitching himself as an unofficial Southerner on his 'away game' in the Deep South. Taking to the podium in jeans and a buttoned-up shirt, the presidential contender told a crowd at the Port of Pascagoula on his first rally in Mississippi that he was gradually becoming one of them.
'I'm learning to say "y'all" and "I like grits". Strange things are happening to me,' he said jokingly. Romney welcomed the endorsement of Governor Phil Bryant during his 15-minute address last night in front of dozens of supporters. He did not mention his Republican opponents at all.

Romney would recite Foxworthy's Dictionary for Rednecks, and eat a turd, to get to be president.
I've never seen a man crawl for an office like he does. That can't be good.

He is very, very strange. This is beyond pandering.
As governor of MA, he didn’t exhibit this eccentric behavior. Something bad is going on with him.
To: maggief
"I like grits" Ask him what he likes on his grits, and he's liable to say "Grey Poupon".

Well, I suppose we should be grateful he didn’t show up drinking an RC, eating a Moon Pie and asking, “Where can I get me some boiled peanuts?”
To: maggief
Sounds like Obama.

ha! I wonder how the height of the trees are for this unofficial Southerner, Mittster? The color of the grass is probably be too green for this time of year.
