As the 2008 presidential election is in it’s final stage, former Governor Mitt Romney put faith in the people of Michigan claiming that they will realize that the McCain-Palin ticket is the right one to vote for. “I’m convinced that Michiganders will take a good look at John McCain’s position and contrast that with Barack Obama’s,” Romney said during a press conference call focusing on the Obama campaign’s visit to the state. “Senator McCain’s prescription for strengthening our housing-market and for strengthening our economy is right,” Romney said.
According to Romney, Michigan will be a “winnable state” for Sen. John McCain, saying Obama’s regular visits to the state shows his insecurity in wining Michigan. “I think it’s a ‘must-win’ state for Barack Obama, and that’s why he’s gonna keep coming back and back, trying to nail it down,” Romney said. Romney claimed that while Obama wants to expand government spending, McCain is a strong opponent to extensive government spending.
Romney highlighted that raising taxes during the current financial crisis on Wall Street, will not help recovering the economy. According to Romney, Obama’s policies will guarantee that America will continue to spend billions of dollars on energy importation, stating it will potentially contribute to even higher gasoline prices.
“His policy saying no to clean coal, no to nuclear and no to drilling, is a policy doomed in my view,” Romney said. According to Romney, the Michigan people just need to focus on the presidential candidates policies to find the candidate that will benefit Michigan the most
