Romney also joked that if her were Hispanic/Latino, it would be easier for him to get elected

My dad, as you probably know, was the governor of Michigan and was the head of a car company,' he said.

'But he was born in Mexico ... and uh, had he been born of uh, Mexican parents, I'd have a better shot at winning this. But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico. He lived there for a number of years. I mean, I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino.'

  - seems "odd" to me to use "unforantley" and "americans" and "parents" in the same sentence -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Sep 17, 17:09
This is where Romney loses are 3-4 news cycles trying to explain... again. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Sep 17, 17:02 1
- He is saving the talk about the bad economy for after the election. It's his ace in the hole. -- nm - Bacon Sep 17, 17:17
What was that even supposed to mean? - Will Hunting Sep 17, 16:58 13
- I think it means that he is worried that he might actually win, and it scares him -- nm - dogbert Sep 17, 17:18
- That he thinks it would be easier to win the Hispanic game. - Stephen Sep 17, 17:18 2
  - game? I meant vote. -- nm - Stephen Sep 17, 17:21 1
    - I mean this is the same conversation where he worries about losing the Hispanic vote to the Democrats permanently isn't it? -- nm - Stephen Sep 17, 17:26
- Minorities get *all* the breaks in this country, like having their welfare checks just handed to them - Brian Sep 17, 17:10 1
  - There is a wonderful Futurama quote: "The less fortunate get all the breaks!" -- nm - David Sep 17, 17:13
- You know, because Obama only got elected because he was black. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 17:04
- He kinda reminds of he 480p troll. I never understand his metaphors. -- nm - David Sep 17, 17:03
- I think he was talking to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, so it may have been a pandering line but it feels akin to attacks on Affirmative Action - ty97 Sep 17, 17:01 3
  - I don't know if this hurts him in any legit way orher than sounding dumb. - Will Hunting Sep 17, 17:03
  - He said that in the same meeting where he talked about the 47%. - CovingtonCat Sep 17, 17:03 1
    - He's just jealous that he can't stay home, sleep in, watch TV and smoke crack all day while waiting for the postman to deliver his welfare checks... -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 17, 17:10
- He seems desperate at this point -- nm - eag Sep 17, 17:01
He is blowing this race big time -- nm - eag Sep 17, 16:54
And they claim that the liberal elite are out of touch with the common voter. Sheesh. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 17, 16:51
