by Jed Lewison
A Romney adviser admits what was already obvious to all: that Mitt used the NAACP as a political prop:
"I think it's important to send a message that he's going to be president of the entire United States," said the adviser.
And what better way to prove that he plans to be inclusive ... than treating the NAACP as stockphoto.com.

(31,849 posts)Am I reading this correctly?
The romney campaign thinks that telling a group, to its face, that he plans to repeal initiatives that that group clearly supports and push through initiatives that that group clearly opposes, was intended to communicate something positive to "moderates" ... that already presumably have differences with romney's "plans?"
Alrighty then ...!
On another note ... How can I get a job with the romney campaign? They must be the best jobs in America.
The romney campaign seems that to mirror the C-Suite of Corporate America, where bad decisions and poor planning are tolerated, if not rewarded, through continued employment, if not bonuses.
This, BTW, is completely divorced from the lower floors, where these things would result in termination.
