We urge Republican Party faithfuls to stand up and vote for Mitt Romney. Although technically not a home state "favorite son," his ties to Michigan are strong.
...
Meanwhile, Mitt Romney certainly has the credentials to run the country. He is a former Massachusetts governor who turned that state's economy around and proved to be a more than able leader.
...
Romney has already garnered support from some prominent local leaders.
Oakland County lawmakers endorsing him include state Reps. John Stakoe, RHighland Township; Marty Knollenberg, R-Troy; Chuck Moss, R-Birmingham; James Marleau, R-Lake Orion; John Garfield, R-Rochester Hills; Craig DeRoche, R-Novi; and Fran Amos, RWaterford Township; and state Sen. Nancy Cassis, R-Novi.
His backers also include Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson; state House Republican Leader Craig DeRoche, R-Novi; and Oakland County Republican Party Chairman Dennis Cowan.
Looking at the obvious, Romney entered the 2008 race with impressive backing in Michigan, and his ties to the state are undeniable. He has firsthand knowledge of the auto industry and its importance to Michigan.
Equally critical, Romney knows how to get a state out of debt and, being from Michigan, he certainly has an empathy for the state that the other candidates, both GOP and Democratic, don't have.
With Michigan's horrible economy and other problems, we need as much clout in Washington as possible and Romney promises to give us that.

But there's no doubt whom state Republicans should vote for - Mitt Romney.

The more they look at him, the more the liberals dislike him. Thanks for the chart proving the point.
I’m sure he will appreciate your vote, even if he’s not up there asking you for it. He’s a good solid conservative and we’d be lucky to have him as President, and it will take luck for us to have him as president.
“Reverse psychology - heard of it?”
