Republican candidate Mitt Romney has spent over three million dollars in an advertising campaign throughout Michigan. His hopes for a win in the Michigan debate are high due to this as well as the factor that he is focused on building the job market in Michigan. Michigan at this time has suffered hundreds of job cuts leaving Michigan at an all time high rate of unemployment. Romney has experience in turning bankrupt companies around right side up. This experience makes him a key component to Michigan seeing change in the employment status of this state.
This is an area of interest that Romney went up against and disagreed about with fellow candidate John McCain. Senator McCain is realistic in stating that some jobs that have left Michigan will not return to the state. Romney claims that this is simply a pessimistic reaction from McCain as Romney believes he can bring back all of the job losses. He remains focused on building stronger American families, turning around the failing economy and increasing the strength of our military. After a win in Wyoming there is no reason to see why Mitt Romney could not walk away with a second debate victory.
A debate held on January 21st will show the outcome of this as well as the polls for debates in South Carolina. As far as polls go according to BBC News Romney is at a 9%, at usaelectionpolls.com he carries a 20%. As this political trail narrows and the race to the finish line quickens, the polls will be on a steady watch by voters.
