Jumping the gun
Last we heard John McCain hasn't picked Mitt Romney as his running mate. But Michigan Dems already are gunning for the former Michigan governor's son.

Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer tells the Chicago Tribune, why wait? He scores Mitt an F on economic savvy.

We've noticed 'Mitt' and 'Michigan' showing up in the same sentence a lot lately, so we thought it was time to take a hard look at Romney's record on the issue that matters most to Michigan voters--jobs.

Conventional wisdom in Washington might be that Romney's business experience means he's good on the economy, but even the slightest glance at his record indicates otherwise.

You would think Mitt would catch a break because he was born in Michigan. But the Dems there point out that as a venture capitalist his financial machinations sometimes resulted in factories being shut down and workers losing jobs.

Warchol posts on Romney because it's the only thing that the ten people who visit this blog actually read.

Glen,

Have you ever thought of doing something really bizarre so that Mitt Romney will notice you, like running around a Romney press conference in only a jock strap singing "I am the walrus"?

If Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer is such an authority on the economy, he should help Detroit and not criticize Romney who pulled Mass., and the Olympics out of the tank as well as amass a fortune in the real business world.
