Romney's Michigan strategy is not totally dumb.

Nostalgia sells in Michigan, especially in the Detroit area. Remeber how "great" things used to be (or rather how white it used to be) is a pastime among older people like my dad. They like to talk about Belle Isle, muscle cars, cheap seats at Tigers games and black people who "knew their place". And they also talk among themselves to see who has been outside city limits the longest. Will Romney's strategy work again? I don't know, but it's not totally insane.

It may help turn out people to vote for him but he isn't going to get people to switch to him based on this crap.
