In reading this: “His Southern act turns him into a political buffoon, a pathetic stereotype who comes across as an elitist mocking a proud people who cherish local roots”…..I can see how insulting his “faux-Southern manner” can appear.

I have a fairly passionate loathing for grits. If he can eat them and smile, he’s a better politician than I.

We tend to overlook that sort of stuff down here in the South. After all, what else would you expect from a Yankee?

It’s hard to knock him for trying. George W. Bush was educated at an elite boarding school on the East Coast, yet managed to rebrand himself as a Texan.

That the people bought it says either something about the people or something about Texans, I’m not quite sure which.

Is that the same dog, Seamus the Irish Setter, that Mitt Romney traveled 12 hours to Canada with him strapped to the top of his car? This week's New Yorker cover reminds us of this showing Romney driving his car with Santorum inside a doghouse strapped to the roof.

The primaries are no longer based on locating the best man for the White House. It is now trying to cast the part that will convince the American people that we are in good hands.

Just say “no.”
