Priceless headline at TPM - "Romney: Black Leaders Offered Me Secret Support"

What is this - a sequel to Animal House? Is he sure it isn't Double Secret support? Who writes his material?

Even more important - who in their right mind would vote for this idiot? We are talking Palin territory here in the wattage department.

Apparently, none of the rank and file of the NAACP would attend Romney's meeting. The GOP had African American Romney Supporters flown in for the event to get him some applause in the crowd and meet with him afterward. They weren't even NAACP members.
