I guess I will go with Romney as well. I like Huck’s support for the Fair Tax, but everything else just creeps me out.

In personal view, Romney came across as dishonest (or unrealistic) during his stint campaigning in Michigan, declaring that he would help restart the automotive industry in Detroit, and suggesting the city would enter another vehicular Golden Age.

Extremely improbable. The number of global players has increased. The United States is becoming a smaller percentage of the market (so even if Michigan made Detroit more business friendly [de-unionized, for instance], Toyota and others wouldn't set up plants in droves in Detroit). And even taking in the field of robotics; more and more jobs can be more cheaply replaced by robots. The last one is for more than just the automobile industry. In the potentially coming years, many jobs could be eaten up by advances in robotics and computing. If that happens, then things will get tighter.
