Romney’s New Hispanic Outreach Sounds A Lot Like Romney’s Old Hispanic Outreach

[DonViejo]

On Monday, Mitt Romney will deliver a major address to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the next phase in the Republican’s latest effort to plan to court Hispanic voters.

But excerpts of his remarks released Sunday night reveal that Romney’s new groove on Hispanic outreach sounds a lot like his old one. And that means no specifics on immigration reform — instead, Romney will continue pitching Hispanic voters by talking about unemployment.

This is essentially all Hispanics have heard from Romney for months. Polls have shown the strategy hasn’t worked — Romney trails Obama in the PollTracker Average of the Latino electorate polls by a margin of 64.1 percent to 28.9 percent, a gap that’s remained fairly steady throughout the summer.

Team Romney says it wants to dramatically change its standing among Hispanic voters between now and November. During the Republican National Convention, the Romney campaign set a target of 38 percent support among Hispanic voters on Election Day.

1. He will dress up in one of those huge sombreros

and a serape over his $3000 suit, and he'll go on Univision and smile his fake smile and say something like "Las sociedades son seres humanos, mis amigos."

4. Do they have "mom" serapes like they do for jeans?

2. He can't tell a taco from an enchilada

3. He can pander now, then change his mind again after election.

He needs 38% of hispanics to be viable, that is his concern, not the concerns of the hispanics.
The Gop knows that dempgraphic is gaining every election cycle, but their base is against dream act.
He pandered to the right in the primaries, now it's time to lie to hispanics in the general. He can send lying Ryan to double down next week.

5. He's not gonna get that 38%

Overall Obama holds 68% of the Latino vote to 26% for Romney, erasing the small bump Romney received in the September 3 (week 2) poll release following the RNC convention.

6. Yeah, I'm sure romney would like

to change their standing dramatically after insulting Latinos during the primaries and beyond. Mitt Romney insults the intelligence of all Americans with his LIES, everyday. Oh wait..didn't he take a day off yesterday? Busy lying to himself?

The "Self Deportation" not working for them?
