Romney Spinmasters: How You Gonna Spin this One? Romney the Great Empathizer Master?

Mitt Romney was addressing a crowd in Prattville, Alabama this past Monday when he stated:

I understand how difficult it can be for an African-American in today’s society. In fact, I can relate to black people very well indeed. My ancestors once owned slaves, and it is in my lineage to work closely with the black community .

However, just because they were freed over a century ago doesn’t mean they can now be freeloaders. They need to be told to work hard, and the incentives just aren’t there for them anymore. When I’m president I plan to work closely with the black community to bring a sense of pride and work ethic back into view for them.

 

Well… at least we Black folk know where he’s coming from! Romney’s Up front/in-your-face racism helps clear the air about the myth of a postracial society.

It would be very nice if we trace Romney’s family’s slaveholdings to living descendants and demand some serious Reparations for them!

In Struggle,

Not anymore. But Romney’s overwhelming win here Tuesday night was a big moment for the former Massachusetts governor that fully restored him to frontrunner status, and dealt a major blow to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. (More)

Barbour: Romney "not a true frontrunner"–Source: Face the Nation

Response: I just recently posted that one would think the Republicans would get together and choose a candidate that they all could support but they can’t. For folks who like surveys, I find this quite interesting “The same survey shows that Republicans believe Romney is the most electable candidate by a significant margin – yet he still trailed Herman Cain in the poll’s overall approval rating.”  Curmilus Dancy II – The Political Agitator

(CBS News)  Despite Mitt Romney’s consistently placing at or near the top in polls of the GOP presidential field, Governor Haley Barbour, R-Miss., says he’s "not a true frontrunner" – even if he is "the best known of our candidates."

Barbour, in a Sunday appearance on CBS’ "Face the Nation," said there is no real frontrunner amid the 2012 GOP candidates, in part because he thinks Republicans are more focused on unseating President Obama than picking a candidate who shares their views. (Read more)
