Newsflash: Mitt Romney likes black people!
On Martin Luther King Day last week, Mitt stopped by Gate Petroleum in
Jacksonville, Florida, and impressed employees with his deep knowledge
of African-American culture.

"Who let the dogs out? Who? Who?" Romney said, singing the chorus of a
popular song while posing with children.
Gawd, how embarrassing.
Could this guy be any more stiff?

Admiring a child's gold necklace, he said, "You've got some
bling-bling, too."
Egad.
But Mitt's not worried - see, he doesn't care what the voters think.
According to CNN's report of last week's Republican debate:

The statement came during a back and forth with moderator Tim Russert,
after Romney was asked how much of his own money he has donated to his
presidential campaign.
"We'll report that on the 31st of January, as required by law, and
probably not a minute earlier. You'll just have to wait, Tim," Romney
said.
"But why not tell the voters of Florida and across the country how
much of your own wealth you're spending, so they can make a judgment
and factor that into their own decision?" Russert responded.
"Well, I'm not concerned about the voters," Romney replied.
Good attitude!
That's exactly the kind of shrug-it-off, chin-up approach that's
needed when dealing with the rough and tumble of presidential
politics.
I mean, check this out:

At the end of the Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire this
month, when the Democrats joined the candidates on stage, Mitt Romney
found himself momentarily alone as his counterparts mingled, looking
around a bit stiffly for a companion.
The moment was emblematic of a broader reality that has helped shape
the Republican contest and could take center stage again on Thursday
at a debate in Florida.
Within the small circle of contenders, Mr. Romney has become the most
disliked.
It's true - the most disliked group of men in America have voted Mitt
Romney as their least-favorite.
That's gotta hurt.
