Michigan Dems blast Romney opinion article

[bathroommonkey76]

Lansing —

Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm, two Michigan congressmen and the leader of the state’s Democratic Party criticized Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney Tuesday for a newspaper opinion piece in which he claimed to be a “son of Detroit.”

Romney’s article ran Tuesday in The Detroit News — two weeks before Michigan’s Feb. 28 Republican presidential primary. A poll released Monday by Public Policy Polling showed former Pennsylvania Gov. Rick Santorum at 39 percent and Romney at 24 percent in the state.

The ex-Massachusetts governor and presumed front-runner to take on President Barack Obama is trying to make good in the eyes of prospective voters, the Democrats told reporters Tuesday during a conference call.

“He opposed the rescue package for the automakers,” Granholm said. “Mitt Romney turned his back on Michigan. I would say he stabbed us in the back during our darkest hour and we’re not going to forget.”

1. I love Governor Granholm!

I went to see her speak at the Center for American Progress last year where she spoke about the auto industry crisis and the damage caused by outsourcing.

She was amazing. Not only brilliant and energetic, but stunningly beautiful and quite friendly to all of us.

I'm just in awe of her. We need to amend the U.S. Constitution so that she can one day run for president!!

4. Me too

Love her quote about Romney stabbing MI in the back. Well stated.

I miss her being governor. Now we're stuck with a Romney clone.

2. Romney is SO a son of Detroit!

A worthless vacant lot overgrown with weeds.
