I can not for the life of me understand why Romney went to grovel at the NAACP convention. I do not know about any “standing ovation”, but I did hear the boos.
Nobama has over 95% of the black vote sewn up. But from the NAACP, I figure he has at least 110%.
Romney was just Pi$$ing in the wind. Wasting time and looking weak.

I take it you did not watch the speech?

He got a standing ovation because he did not pander or water anything down for them. He addressed them like a leader does and quite frankly, compared to race and class warfare from obama the last 4 years, it was very refreshing to watch.

It’s almost impossible to find video of Romney’s standing ovation. At the end of this clip you’ll see a small part of it. Here’s the link: http://www.thehopeforamerica.com/play.php?id=12016

No it was done to show other voting blocks just what liberal communists the NAACP happen to be and exposes the racial divide and conquer strategy of the Dem’s. The NAACP looked really bad and independent voters will note it. It also dilutes the old “white republicans are racists because they never go speak to the NAACP during the election year” club that past republicans have been beaten over the head with!
It showed strength frankly...but strength to what end I am not sure. Romney is Nixonian in his duplicity and I’m not sure about his true inner motives.
