Did Mitt Romney Go Brownface in Attempt to Woo Latino Voters? & Did Romney Dye His Face Brown to Appeal to Hispanic Voters? &Mitt Romney: 'I Say That Jokingly, But It Would Be Helpful To Be Latino 20&17SEP12

OH MY GOSH!!!! He must have! There is no other explanation for the difference in his color! He wasn't kidding when he said he believes if he was Latino he'd have a better chance of being elected!!!! (Watch the video below) In the pic below look at the color of his face, compare it to the color of his hands! From Democratic Underground, the LA Weekly, the Daily Agenda and Mother Jones......

If you thought Mitt Romney's week couldn't get any worse, it just did. The blog Democratic Underground seems to have called it first: The Republican candidate appears to have gotten darker in only a day's time. Fine, you say, he has property on the beach right here in Southern California. It happens.
Yeah, but this particular coincidence coincided with ...
... a "candidate forum" talk with Univision, aimed at Latino voters.
Some bloggers have pointed out that he wasn't so melanin-enriched just a day before yesterday's forum in Miami. Here's a photo of him during a campaign stop Monday in Southern California. You be the judge.

Meanwhile, if you don't think the Romney is quite dumb enough to go brownface for so-called brown voters, consider the other gaffes of the week, including his famous remark that nearly half the country is comprised of moochers who are meaningless to his campaign and the assertion that he would win outright if he was Latino by blood.
It's an interesting point, seeing that his father was born in Mexico, which would make papa ... Mexican.
You see, despite our occasional brownness, Latinos do not comprise a race and can come in an array of tanning-bed hues. Latin America has people with African and European heritage and everything in between. (Mexican actress Selma Hayek is of Lebanese descent; baseball legend Ted Williams, seemingly "white," was half-Mexican).
Romney, of course, knows that. It's in his family history.
To be fair, old rich gringos like to get tans. And the candidate was in Miami. You can get thong-tan lines just thinking about Miami.
Not all Latinos are aghast at Romney's sudden dash to the dark side, by the way. The website Pocho.com has come up with several possible reasons for the epidermal enrichment, including:

Fell face-first into Snooki.

So there. Give the guy a break.
DID ROMNNEY DYE HIS FACE BROWN TO APPEAL TO HISPANIC VOTERS?

Mitt Romney: 'I Say That Jokingly, But It Would Be Helpful To Be Latino

 

In one of a series of clips from a secretly recorded campaign fundraiser, Mitt Romney makes a joking reference to his family's complicated history in Mexico, guessing that if his father George had been "born of Mexican parents, I'd have a better shot at winning this."
The comments mark a rare moment of levity on immigration for Romney, and they're a somewhat unusual reference to his family's complicated history in Mexico. "I mean, I say that jokingly," he adds, "but it would be helpful to be Latino."
Romney spent much of the primary season broadcasting a harsh stance on immigration, famously suggesting that he'd make life so unbearable for those in the U.S. without papers that they would "self-deport." Then he moved gingerly to the center once he had clinched his party's nomination, mindful of Latinos' increasingly large slice of the electorate.
"My dad, as you probably know, was the governor of Michigan and was the head of a car company. But he was born in Mexico ... and uh, had he been born of uh, Mexican parents, I'd have a better shot at winning this," Romney says in the video. "But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico. He lived there for a number of years. I mean, I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino."
Romney's line got laughs, perhaps because his audience was aware that he could indeed use all the help he can get with Latinos. President Barack Obama is walloping him by a nearly 40 percent margin in polls of the group.
Romney is not Mexican, but his ancestors were white Americans who moved to Mexico when the state of Utah banned polygamy. Romney's son, Craig, cut a Spanish-language radio ad in August making a point similar to the one that his father did at the fundraiser. "My grandfather George was born in Mexico," Craig noted, leaving out the reason why.
Romney addressed the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on Monday in an effort to blunt Obama's advantage among Latinos. In his considerably more serious remarks at that event, he claimed the president's policies have effectively sent Latinos into poverty, and that Obama has failed to "fix" immigration as he promised.
Efforts at improving Romney's standing among Latinos based on personal appeals to his Mexican family history will likely go only so far. Latino support for the president's reelection is based in part on a specific administration policy: Obama's decision to grant immunity from deportation for many young undocumented immigrants.
