MITT ROMNEY'S NAACP SPEECH WILDLY SUCCESSFUL - That is, he didn't wrap his arms around several young African-American women and nervously quip, "Who let the dogs out? Hoot...hoot," so it was a step up. Elise Foley: "Mitt Romney was booed Wednesday at the NAACP conference for promising to repeal the president's signature health care reform law, bringing him to an awkward halt in the middle of an otherwise civilly-received pitch for black voters. It was an awkward moment that forced him to go off script, after giving a somewhat pained smile as the booing continued. 'I'm going to eliminate every non-essential, expensive program I can find, that includes Obamacare, and I'm going to work to reform and save --' Romney said before being interrupted for about 15 seconds." There were moments of applause, but they weren't super enthusiastic -- think "middle school assembly after it's been announced that the janitor is retiring." [HuffPost]
