Romney 2012: The Last Great White Campaign

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Truly a campaign strategy to be proud of.

As if throwing bones to specific cultural groups to get their support is any more admirable?

What bones have the Democrats been throwing to Asians, lately? Democrats have naturally become the party of minorities and there are actual reasons for that, not just the usual misinterpreted reverse racism, or whatever. Even though it is (only partially) the result of politically advantageous moves, they've also largely been the right thing to do. There's a difference between that and specifically playing to the white vote, especially with the... unfortunate history that has.

Most cynically, Democrats are giving concessions to minorities for political gain. That's the worst they're doing. At worst, the Republicans are coming off like neo-confederates.

My point is not that it is a bad thing...my point is why is it a problem if Republicans reach out to White Americans as Democrats aim to do with Black/Latino/Gay/etc Americans?

It astounds me how a poll out last week shows Romney with ZERO percent of African American support...and this is pinned on Romney while polls showing whites preferring Romney are then attributed- by some- to racism

Let's be consistent... if it is not racist to design a campaign to appeal to minorities (which I do NOT believe is racist), it is also not racist to design a campaign to appeal to whites

Once again...I don't see any difference in method or morals between a campaign boosting white turnout and one boosting black turnout
