Romney Repudiates Plan for Racially Tinged Attack on Obama

Mitt Romney denounced a plan drafted by Republican strategists to run a racially tinged advertising campaign against President Barack Obama focusing on his former pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr.

“I want to make it very clear I repudiate that effort,” Romney told reporters today after a campaign event in Jacksonville, Florida. “I hope that our campaigns can respectively be about the future and about issues and about a vision for America.”
