Shikha Dalmia on Mitt Romney's Troubled Michigan Homecoming

Michigan was supposed to be the state where Mitt Romney cakewalked his way to the Republican nomination. After all, he was born and brought up here by a father who served as a three-term governor. Instead, observes Shikha Dalmia, Romney is stumbling. And whether or not he recovers might depend on his ability to do something that so far has completely eluded him: offer a vision. Making tribalistic appeals and brandishing his resume, as he's been doing, isn't working so far—and might never work.
