I guess that explains why Romney garnered a fucking ZERO percent in the NBC/WaPo poll among blacks.
What a POS!

And partisan, obviously, but this is just such a lame, obvious attempt at partisan hackery that I can't help but think she's a bit dim.

Was Andrea trying that Karl-Rovian "attack the Democrats for their strengths" kind of political attack? Mrs. Greenspan, you have to be more subtle (...and just smarter) if you don't want your audience laughing at you and rolling their eyes.

Long past time for the Democrats to learn how to respond to these creeps in the media.

Also, I suspect there isn't a single politician speaking at the RNC that has a favorability rating above 50%

The GOP would pull the box boy at the local market out and make him a speaker if he was 1/4 black.1/4 asian, 1/4 latino and 1/4 American Indian. And had a good suit. Who is the black woman they are trotting out? What is her experience?
And Nikki Haley? Hated in her own state and bad approval ratings. But she is photogenic.
