New Ad Touts Romney’s Roots: “It’s Personal to Me”
Friday, December 21st, 2007Boston, MA—
The Romney campaign launched a new ad today in Michigan. The ad focuses on Michigan’s economic problems and Romney’s business background:
“It’s inexcusable that Michigan is undergoing a one-state recession. High levels of unemployment, industry is shrinking here, jobs are going away. . .I think I’m probably the only guy on this stage who spent most of his career in the business world.”
The ad shows Romney speaking at the MSNBC debate in Dearborn, Michigan in October. The commercial begins with Romney saying, “And for me, Michigan is personal” and shows a picture of the Michigan native with his father, George Romney.
The ad will start running today even though the campaign previously said the only ad running over Christmas would be the commercial released on December 19th, “Searched.”
