Sure!
Because if there's any group that is in favor of equal rights for women, it's the GOP, am I right?

Romney's bumbling campaign/PACs has hit a rock bottom. All they're doing is becoming more and more defensive (which is exactly how a challenger should be if Incumbent wants to win), and as PL mentioned, Rovian tactics work only pre-emptively. Even PD has to agree here.

Romney To NAACP: I’ll Be Better For Black Americans Than Obama
Quote:
“I want you to know that if I did not believe that my policies and my leadership would help families of color — and families of any color — more than the policies and leadership of President Obama, I would not be running for president,” Romney says, according to the prepared remarks.
Quote:
“I believe that if you understood who I truly am in my heart, and if it were possible to fully communicate what I believe is in the real, enduring best interest of African-American families, you would vote for me for president,” he says in the remarks.

Honestly, don't you have advisers for this? I wouldn't call the NAACP Obama's base (I think they were more friendly to the Clintons) but they clearly won't be in support of Romney. He shouldn't even mention the president. Instead his speech should be about the positives associated with him being in office versus the current state of things. It would be his symbolic plea to the black community for support - a win. End of story.

You can't make disparaging remarks about black people during the primary and expect them to vote for you in the fall. In their zeal to appeal to the racist element of the GOP base, they've completely alienated just about every minority group in the country.

Obama up 6 in Wisconsin, Walker's popularity has recovered

Quote:
A new poll of Wisconsin from Democratic-leaning firm Public Policy Polling (PPP) shows President Obama with a 6 point lead over Republican nominee Mitt Romney, 50 percent to 44 percent. Obama has been hovering around the 50 mark in Wisconsin over the last three months. “Barack Obama’s the clear favorite to win Wisconsin,” said Dean Debnam, President of PPP said in a release. “But it looks like it will be a much closer race than his 14 point victory in 2008.”

The current PollTracker Average of the presidential race in Wisconsin shows the President with a 5.2 percent lead.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R), who faced a recall election on June 5th, is into positive territory at 51 percent approval versus 46 disapproval. Walker had faced a negative rating through most of 2011, after he proposed and eventually pushed through anti-union measures, spurring protests and the eventual recall vote.

That's pretty much exactly how I'd put it. He'll win, but he will actually have to make a slight effort.

My guess is that people don't like recalls on principle unless criminal activity or severe public misconduct is involved. Doesn't mean they like Walker or is against Obama.

Walker's approval rating has skyrocketed. He was in the low 30's last fall and is now over 50%.

Yeah...Wisconsin hates Walker.

Well, let's not play games. Romney didn't go to the NAACP to win their votes, either. Ignoring the question of whether Romney is a racist (he probably is, though, given that the LDS was officially racist until 1978), he would have to be an idiot to think that he was going to peel off black votes from Obama, especially given his essentially complete retreat from attempting to get Latino votes, which are obviously more separable.

But Romney got exactly what he wanted -- a couple of videos where a bunch of black people boo him while he is apparently polite and courteous to them. Remember who Romney's base is, after all. This is meat and drink for them.
