Romney, Santorum Michigan Nostalgia Trips Whitewash Reality (ContributorNetwork)

Romney reminded Detroit area voters of the reliable auto manufacturing base back in the days when his dad was governor, according to a Politico report. That would be circa 1963 to 1969. Rick Santorum likewise hailed the memory of a grandfather who worked in the auto factories and an era when hard work sustained families. It's a risky road, Politico pointed out, one that fueled Democratic ridicule of Bob Dole in 1996 for allegedly offering voters a bridge to the past.
