Hey Michigan, Mitt's back, but is he home?

In a December 2005 interview with the Boston Herald, Republican presidential candidate, ex-Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney told the paper he would have stayed in his home state of Michigan had he known he would enter a career in politics. 

"Running as a Romney in Michigan is golden for a politician," the Detroit native said.  "I never would have thought about Massachusetts had I anticipated that politics was going to be in my future."

Romney's father served as the governor of Michigan from 1963-69.

His Commonwealth PAC had raised approximately $350,000 according to the Oct-06 statement.  Mighty interesting, since barely a dime of it came from within Michigan.  The good news was that he did hand out a few shekels to the local parties, and some candidates. 

And that's where it gets interesting....
