Romney apparently did quite well in Michigan, partly, because he was the most skilled at pandering.
Specifically, writing all sorts of checks to out-of-work auto workers that the U.S. economy could never cash. Free jobs for everyone! Goodbye fuel economy standards—THEY'RE clearly why Americans are looking to Honda and Toyota for our next cars. We want cars with painfully low fuel economies right now, and only Japan has had the courage to give us the gas-guzzlers we're clamoring for!
One of McCain's problems, or so HardRCafe and I were discussing last night, is that he's just not doing the same pandering—he's against ethanol subsidies, for example.
