Yes I know that Romney won both Arizona and Michigan, but it
was still a psychological failure for him and he likely knows it, but more
importantly Santorum will also know this. Romney should have won Michigan
easily, it’s his home state, he won it with ease in 2008 and he has strong
family ties with Michigan, it is the state he group up in after all. Yet he
only scraped by to win the primary and it’s not good for his prestige.
Personally, I feel, one of Romney’s major problems is his
attitude to his own wealth. Romney speaks of being a car man and then lists the
cars he owns which, considering his wealth is a very long list. All this does
is alienate voters, it also doesn’t help when he makes a campaign video about
loving the American automotive industry (despite wanting it to go bankrupt)
whilst driving the whole time in a Canadian car. Pretty stupid huh? Also he thinks
the height of the trees in Michigan is just right, which is the most bizarre
statement I’ve heard in this campaign so far. It isn’t just a one off comment; he’s made it
on multiple occasions and has given no explanation why. Talking on the Rachel
Maddow show, Michael Moore (from Michigan) said that this is not some sort Michigan
“thing”, it is just completely random.
This hasn’t cemented the campaign for any one candidate and
it will remain a tight race until all states have voted.
