Who wouldn’t want to have their ethnicity be cynically exploited for political gain by someone simply on the basis of a shared religion?

I suspect the Romney campaign wanted to get a fun photo op like Obama had in the Florida pizza place with the guy so happy to see him he picked him up and gave him a bear hug. Romney wanted to be seen as a regular guy who was liked that much by a Mexican.

‘Cept nobody actually likes Romney.
