Thomas Lifson: Mitt gets a standing ovation at the NAACP "Mitt may be finding his campaign persona, bit by bit. Fortitude is not a bad quality. People respect it.
"Update: The mainstream media has chosen to focus on the boos, and downplay if not ignore the standing ovation. Let them! They are in denial, and cannot put a cofferdam around momentum. Mitt went into the Lion's den and emerged with a standing ovation. He knows it, we know it, and the NAACP knows it."
Allahpundit gives us excerpts of quotes from numerous sources. Via Hot Air. The opinions run the gamut from Romney being a race-baiting scoundrel to being a courageous crusader.
Conservative Black Chick: Romney Woos NAACP with Passion and Conviction "Other than getting booed when he talked of repealing Obamacare, which was unnecessarily provocative and he shouldn’t have mentioned it, Romney hit a home run with the NAACP speech. He was at ease, genuine and aggressive in a way I’ve never seen him before. Romney didn’t do anything magical. He simply took the Republican message to black voters and curiously didn’t use the word Republican once. This will go a long way in earning Romney respect from black liberals."
Why Obama and NAACP hate Romney’s education plan "Yesterday, during his speech at the annual NAACP National Conference in Houston, Gov. Mitt Romney surprised everyone with his novel approach to education funding, which not only makes ‘good walking around sense’ but, also drew concerted agreement from one of the primary ‘constituents’ of the conferees–poor, urban black students."
Mitt Romney Draws Cheers and a Boo at the NAACP Convention "Mitt Romney’s speech played surprisingly well with today’s audience, and may have helped him shed his unfortunate image as a panderer. It certainly raises an interesting question. Given Mitt Romney’s courage to address an audience he could expect to be hostile to his message, when will President Barack Obama show similar courage and clearly explain and defend his policies before, say, a school choice coalition convention or the Conference of Catholic Bishops?"

"While O'Brien popped the question but made no accusations, MSNBC hosts Lawrence O'Donnell and Toure championed this conspiratorial claim, including O'Donnell alleging that Romney wanted to appeal to racists.
"Later in the interview, O'Brien sniffed around some Romney post-speech remarks and asked more questions about his underlying motives, suggesting a racial intent."
