A lot of the Republicans talked about having "great diversity on display" at the Republican National Convention. The governor of New Mexico and Sen. Marco Rubio spoke during the Republican National Convention, but what's interesting is the polling data amongst minorities, 65-31 in terms of Latinos supporting Pres. Obama over Mitt Romney. NBC News-Washington Journal poll: 94 percent Pres. Obama, 0 percent for Mitt Romney in terms of African Americans with a 3-point -- 3½ percent margin of error. What does it say about the Republican Party that was so aggressive at touting diversity onstage, but it's not reflected in the voting booth? This week's Washington Watch roundtable features Republican strategist Elroy Sailor, founder and CEO of J.C. Watts Company; Angela Rye, executive director and general counsel of the Congressional Black Caucus; theGrio.com contributor Joseph Williams and Georgetown University professor Dr. Chris Metzler.
