1. "You know, there was a survey of the Chamber of Commerce..."

Which, I guess, had wildly different results from a survey of that room.

2. This was a online survey

It is as scientific as our polls here on DU. It even has it's own disclaimer stating it is not scientific, which is code for "not worth the electrons it takes to display on the computer screen".

3. He knew he was in the wrong ocean just by walking into the room.

4. Here's my big question on that little clip

Why the hell is Romney grinning while he's being booed?

He could have looked angry, or sad, or grim (but sympathetic), but that smile was so out of place it was uncomfortable for me.

Was he nervous, or did he just not give a damn about the consequences of his words? He looked like a kid pulling the wings off of a butterfly, and unsure as to why he was enjoying himself so much.

Freak.

BTW, thanks for posting RD

5. Any sane politician should have been like

"I know, I know," in a solemn yet understanding tone, yet then briefly point out his views on the topic.

Yet, I think he grinned because this was obviously planned. Going into a NAACP audience, only to use the term "Obamacare" in an inflammatory fashion. Obviously it was all just some idiotic ploy to make the republican base (old white men), go "That's mah guy! Look at him bravely stick to his guns in front of those black people!"
