Romney was a bad fit for the Midwest and his image as an out of touch plutocrat was especially effective there. The bailout did help Obama because there was the contrast with Romney and his "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" stance(though the headline was a stereotype of his position). The attacks on his time at Bain were pretty effective, Romney was the symbol of the loss of manufacturing jobs and linking him to outsourcing jobs and corporate greed.
