Wasting a Perfectly Good July 11th

I don't know why Republicans feel they have to do this:

Presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney will address the NAACP’s national convention next month, a campaign aide confirmed Tuesday.

News of Romney’s plans to attend the convention, which takes place July 7-12 in Houston, was first reported by April Ryan of American Urban Radio Networks. Romney is scheduled to speak on July 11.

Complete waste of time. The NAACP membership will probably vote 99.9% for Obama no matter what he says. Other black voters, who will probably vote more than 90% for Obama won't care that he spoke to the NAACP.

Romney's speech will have even less effect on the election than Obama's 2008 speech in Germany when he campaigned in front of thousands of people ineligible to vote in America.
