One last “prank” from Ole Mitt
by digby
Republicans have always insisted that Ronald Reagan wasn’t dogwhistling when he chose Philadelphia Mississippi (the site of the murders of three civil rights workers) to launch his 1980 campaign. And maybe he wasn’t. But you’d think that Republicans would be a little bit more conscious of echoes of his visit if that were true:
The state of Florida is embroiled in controversy because of incredibly long early voting lines and wrangling about how long the polls can be open.
In the midst of this crisis, Republican governor Rick Scott made time to campaign alongside GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney in Sanford, Fla., the town where unarmed African-American teenager Trayvon Martin was killed earlier this year.
“We need every single vote in Florida,” Romney told the crowd in Sanford today. “We can begin a better tomorrow, tomorrow.”
Mitt. A class act to the very end.
