Title: What will Mitt Romney love when he visits your state?
Post by: Likely Voter on March 13, 2012, 07:44:25 PM
We have seen how Mitt Romney likes to pander connect with local voters.

So if you are in an upcoming primary/caucus state, what do you expect Mitt to love when he visits? What local colloquialisms are you looking forward to him saying? What foods do you epect him to eat?

Texas is a big state, so a few things

1.  Tacos in El Paso, South Texas, other heavily Hispanic parts of the state
2.  Oil in Houston
3.  The Alamo in San Antonio
4.  Small town America in west Texas
5.  Wild west and its history

Assuming Poland is one of the U.S. states, Mitt Romney certianly would profess his deep and longtime love for kiełbasa. However, due to being a teetotaler, he'd be a non-starter here.

He will love our nation and our freedom. I'd like to hear him sing patriotic songs again. It's so refreshing to see a possible president who actually cares about something other than fame, glamour, coreographed speeches, and the perks of office. Was this a serious question or was I supposed to insult Romney?

Romney gaffes to look for in Texas...

(1) Confusing Mexican food with Tex-Mex (and thinking Taco Cabana is either one).

(2) Going to a barbecue joint and asking for pork with vinegar sauce (confusing Carolina BBQ with Texas BBQ).

(3) Trying to eat a tamale with the corn husk still on it (Gerald Ford made this mistake in 1976...and lost the state to Reagan in the primary and Carter in November).

(4) Bad attempts to use Texas metaphors in regards to the election (i.e. "Hope y'all are ready for a shoot-out!" "Rick Santorum's all hat and no cattle!")

Martini's are hot these days in my hood. They have made a big comeback. Oh, yes, Mittens ... hmm. Maybe taco's with Maui Maui fish in them, with a bit of salsa? Hey, that may appeal to the Hispanic vote too. Oh, Mittens isn't campaigning for the Hispanic vote much. How about humus? No, too Arab. I'm really at a loss. Maybe Mittens should just eschew chatting about what you swallow. Yes, that's it!
