'Car guy' Romney takes pitch to near empty stadium (Stadium debacle ridiculed overseas...)

White House hopeful Mitt Romney styled himself as a Michigan-bred "car guy" whose wife drives "a couple of Cadillacs" as he tried to woo Motor City voters ahead of a key primary.

Giving what was billed as a major economic policy speech days before state Republicans choose their presidential nominee, Romney presented a plan to lower taxes and cut spending -- and insisted that he was the only candidate capable of beating Democrat Barack Obama in the November 6 presidential election.

But the speech may be remembered more for its setting and Romney's off-hand remarks rather than its substance.

Before 1,200 guests of the Detroit Economic Club, Romney took to the podium on the 30 yard line of Ford Field stadium -- home of the NFL's Detroit Lions -- surrounded by 65,000 empty seats.

Wow, over three years of silence. There are some days I probably have half its total posts. Good ZOT shot.

Thank you. I know, some of them just aren’t horrible enough, huh. I do like the pretty ones too.

[TheOldLady]

Thank you!  ;-)

That would make a pretty *real* flower.

This kind of mistake is hard to understand. And, if Romney gets the nomination, these kind of mistakes will become more common.
