Romney hoping his name will get him a win

According to CBS News, Mitt Romney is hoping that his last name will get him a win in Michigan today.
"I don’t know how Democrats will vote in a Republican primary,” Romney said to reporters at the North American International Auto Show. “That's not something I’m terribly used to. I expect there will be some Democrats who say, ‘Gosh, that Romney fellah, isn't he related to George Romney, and didn't George Romney do a lot to try and help our state?' Maybe I can get some of those votes.”
Many voters in tomorrow’s primary will be too young to remember Romney’s father, who served as governor of Michigan from 1963 to 1969, but his name still resonates here.
...
“I've had a foreign car or two in the mix over the years,” Romney added. “I must admit I prefer American-made cars for a lot of reasons.”
Of course you prefer American-made cars. You're at the North American International Auto Show! I'm sure Canada and Mexico aren't making an appearance.

His name isn't going to get him anywhere.
