Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder endorsed Mitt Romney Thursday in an editorial in the Detroit News. The editorial draws on Romney’s ties to the state to show that he understands Michigan.
Our country has never elected a president born and raised in Michigan. Mitt Romney was born in Detroit. His father served with distinction as governor. Before that, he was president of American Motors. Mitt grew up with the prospects of the auto industry and of Michigan discussed around the dinner table.
He has deep ties to our state. Mitt understands the challenges confronting Michigan as few Americans do.
The campaign’s favorite passage, which they blasted out in an email, reads:
The country can’t afford to do business as usual. It’s time for collaboration, fiscal courage and innovation to take root in Washington. Given his accomplishments, background, character, experience, ideas and intellect, Mitt Romney has what it takes to build a foundation for America’s success in this global economy.
