Mitt's Bumpy Ride In Michigan

Mitt Romney's literature and signs have been at every Republican event for years. He had quite an organization in 2008 with signs that said, "Michigan for Mitt," with the cute reference of the appearance of the lower peninsula being a mitten, and Mitt's name, well, it's just precious.

But here we are, 9 days from Michigan's Presidential Primary, which the GOP in Michigan moved up and lost half of it's delegates as a result, and now Mitt has to actually compete.

Mitt lost Iowa, Missouri, Colorado, South Carolina, and Minnesota, and may lose Maine. He has so far won New Hampshire and Florida.

So as I read what is happening downstate and about how wonderful Mitt is, I noticed how the press says Romney has not defended the auto bailout, and that it will hurt him. Michigan Republicans defend the auto-bailout because Michigan is the auto industry and it's too big to fail, etc.

But the auto rescue is an awkward issue in a state in which both Republicans and Democrats wholeheartedly supported it.

Even if he wins Michigan, Mr Romney will still be dogged by the auto rescue in the general election. Mr Patterson, a supporter, says: "That’s something that Mitt is going to have to address."

Then I typed, "Mitt Romney supported auto bailouts," into my little google search thingy and I found out that he flip-flopped on that issue too.

But nothing in Michigan lakes will eat you. LOL

LOL! I just had to preserve the fun.

Mitt is even pandering to the lakes.

[cripplecreek]

At least he shows he doesn’t just care about the big lakes. He cares for the little ones as well.

I wrote about what the argument started about on the State message boards.

ROTFL

Down here I have Mike Shirkey for a state rep who took a long democrat held seat.

He’s too busy trying to please everyone. He’s been pretty firm on right to work but chasing opinions on everything else. I told him that I’d be happy to disagree with him honestly if he’s just stand for something and stop worrying about the left and the tea party.

Exactly what I’m seeing..

Willard has “mudslung” it much worse against Perry and Newt.

Therefore Santorum will win Michigan by 5, Washington by 7, AND Ohio by 10.

Game over.
