Pat Buchanan was on The Verdict with Dan Abrams. In addressing the GOP strategy that seems to be attacking Barack Obama by demonizing his wife, Pat talked about the legitimacy of attacking Michelle AND painting Obama as EXOTIC.
Tanya Acker was on the case and tried to pin Pat down on what exotic means. She called out Pat for using Exotic as code for Black. The GOP is going to continue to use code words and dog whistles to energize that portion of their base. What used to be a Southern Strategy is going to be the GOP 50 State Strategy.
The real problem is the GOP has no desire to run a campaign on the issues that affect you and I every day, issues that are crucial to our country. Issues that transcend race and geography.
