African-Americans Nowhere to Be Found in Romney’s Orbit

April 11, 2012/in
By:

Harry Siegel, Ben Jacobs

In:

Daily Beast

“It’s just plain stupid,” said demographer Joel Kotkin of the campaign’s apparent neglect of black voters. “This is clearly a blind spot, perhaps because Romney’s generation of Mormons grew up in an all-white world,” he said, comparing it to “Obama’s preference for university professors over businessmen.”
