Quote:

The rise of the economy as an issue and Romney’s new strength after two losses underscored how volatile the campaign has become as the party grapples to find a new leader and direction for the post-Bush era.

Likely voters in Michigan rank the economy and jobs their top concern, well above some of the other issues that had dominated much of the Republican debate nationally for months, such as national security and terrorism, taxes and government spending, moral issues, and illegal immigration.

Romney’s making what could be a do-or-die stand in Michigan, playing up his background as a successful business executive as well as his home-state ties as the son of the late George Romney, himself a successful businessman as chairman of American Motors and a popular Michigan governor.
