Republican Mitt Romney returns to the ancestral homeland, Michigan
Republican '08 presidential possibility Romney went to Michigan to campaign for the GOP candidate for governor.
He was moving under cover of his position as chairman of the Republican's Governor's Association, but something tells me the state's 17 electoral votes didn't hinder the decision to make the trip.
"Michigan is one of our target states because the Democratic governor here has not been able to lay out a program to turn this state around, and that's recognized by people" according to Romney. And of course a turnout energized by a vote for a Republican governor wouldn't hurt a GOP presidential candidate in a swing state, particularly if that Prez-to-be was a semi-native son.
As long as he avoids words like "brainwashed" and "big love", he might just have a shot at it.
