The conservative Republican blogger in D.C. writes: "It’s not the message Republicans need to change but the messengers
who are selling the message. To his credit and the Democrats, Obama did
heavy outreach to blacks, Latinos and Hispanics and it paid off. Obama
increased his win of the Hispanic vote from 67% in 2008 to 69% in 2012,
as reported by the Wall Street Journal. According to CNN, black voter
turnout in swing states like Pennsylvania was higher than it was in 2008
and Obama earned over 90% of the black vote overall this election. In contrast, Romney gave what amounted to lip service light to the
Hispanic and Latino outreach. Romney and the RNC spent millions of
dollars in advertising to Hispanics, yet he failed to chip away at that
voting bloc because people can tell when you don’t really care about
their vote."
Ms. Wright ain't done just yet about the U.S. presidential election: "Even more insulting was Romney’s refusal to work for the black vote
beyond giving an NAACP speech and announcing a Black Leadership Council,
which amounted to nothing more than cosmetic wallpaper. Knowing Obama
wasn’t earning the black vote and blacks would simply vote for him
because he was black, you would think Romney and the RNC would do more
to take their message to black America. A year ago, the RNC hired me to create a black outreach website to
attract more blacks to the Republican Party. After near completion of
the site in the late spring of 2012, Romney and the RNC killed the
project, explaining they didn’t want to launch the site without putting
outreach activities behind it. I agreed and recommended a slate of
outreach activities such as town hall meetings at historically black
colleges and universities in swing states such as Virginia and North
Carolina. The RNC’s refused to fund any black outreach activities."
Booker Rising response: With all due respect to Ms. Wright (whose blog I follow closely), why are we just now hearing this behind-the-scenes news regarding the spiking of black outreach activities? She went hard in the paint for Mitt Romney, despite knowing this information?
