Golly, how'd these folks EVER lose?

A telling quote from a Romney insider tells you just the mindset they have about any non-white guy:

“We didn’t think they’d turn out more of their base vote than they did in 2008, but they smoked us,” said one Romney operative. “It’s unbelievable that that they turned out more from the African-American community than in 2008. Somehow they got ‘em to vote.”

Even in giving them props, they play on stereotypes.  They never consider their message no only turns off people who are NOT white men -- especially when it involves overtly trying to prevent them from voting -- but motivates voting against them.

I'd say "unbelievable" but of course, it is entirely believable.
