Romney on the Rocks in Michigan

DETROIT -- Fixing Michigan's abysmal economy and ending the mass exodus of manufacturing jobs should be no problem if we listen to some of the Republicans vying to become president. All we need to do is cut taxes, offer tax incentives to businesses, toss in a little worker retraining, dust off that old entrepreneurial spirit that made the state the automotive capital of the world for a century, and presto, the assembly lines will roll with renewed energy. Crowds should roar with laughter when they hear the candidates stumping through the state echoing those themes. But instead they sit politely and take in the simplistic bromides as the GOP hopefuls struggle to win Tuesday's Michigan primary.
