Meanwhile, GOP strategists are hunkered down, wondering why they can't gain traction with the black community:
"What do we have to do to get these nig--, I mean colored fol--, I mean African Americans [mild laughter in the room] to vote for us? For Christ's sake, you'd think the chicken and watermelon would have been a slam dunk. I mean, it's fucking Harlem! It's like a third world country. They must all be starving. That could be an ad, you know. 'Liberal PC agenda perpetuates inner city hunger.' I like it. Get on that, Skip. Ok, what else? Come on, people, we need ideas! Say, they still like that hippity hoppity music, don't they? Maybe we need a song. Get me that black country singer on the phone. You know who I mean, that Hootie fella'."
