I was today where Romney had to defend himself in an interview with the Detroit Free Press over a NYT edit. he wrote in 2008 where he said the Gov't bailout of car mfg.ers was a big mistake and they should have gone through the traditional bankruptcy process instead of a bailout. Romney tried to cover himself to DFP by stating that Obama did exactly what he suggested which was a "managed bankruptcy".
These leads me to a thought. Obviously, there are a lot of people in MI, northern OH, and northern IN who approve of the bailout since the auto mfg.er industry and spillover businesses related to it employ tens of thousands in that area.
Can a person, most likely a Republican, who vehemently opposed the bailout, which just about all did, still win these 3 swing states???? I think they can, but it is being made tougher by the resurgence of the US auto industry and the jobs that it is starting to bring back.
Seems to me that they can, but it will be a bit difficult. Can a republican win the white house w/out winning OH, IN, and MI????
