I’m not surprised you haven’t gotten a response from atc23. His premise is absurd. The talk was excellent and your summary is spot on. Romney actually sounded Reaganesque.

When you’re speaking to a bunch of race mongers you’re on enemy territory. He walked the minefield by telling the truth and sticking to the facts. If Romney brings the fight hard to black voters he may turn enough back into Republicans. That would be great.

There are Americans who are pro-business, pro-free enterprise, pro secure borders who can support measures that promote American exceptionalism without regard to color, accents, religious background, tribal ancestry (whether gaul, hun, bantu, asiatic, etc who will vote to give Romney a chance to live up to his word. He has made a case for being pro-business and against racial division.
I still do not trust him on immigration, government control, and know nothing of his foreign policy.

He grew up in wealth, made more money, dodged the draft, enacted gay marriage into law, has not really come down on the secure borders, failed to support openly Arizona and Alabama.
Compare resumes with obama - neither is Christian; obama is a communist, race-baiting ne'er do well who has accomplished nothing. Romney is a capitalist who does not mind government loans, guarantees, etc to bail out or start businesses.
Choices - choices?

That's your premise? I don't believe Romney should have gone there in the first place. Somebody needs to stop giving "race mongers" a forum to get booed from. Mittens isn't going to get any votes from these people anyway.

At some point, someone needs to rise above the race hate.
