Oops! Mitt Romney's new Michigan ad uses picture of him in New York to prove he grew up in Detroit
byJed Lewison

Mitt Romney's new Michigan primary ad has a simple message: that he's a native son. It opens with Romney behind the wheel of a Chrysler, waxing poetic about his love for the state. "I grew up in Michigan," he says. "It was exciting to be here."

"I remember going to the Detroit auto show with my dad," he recalls, the ad simultaneously cutting to a photograph of Mitt Romney and his father, standing on a roof, looking down on the unwashed masses milling about at what voters are supposed to believe is the Detroit auto show.


Still image from new Mitt Romney ad as he says "I remember going to the Detroit
auto show with my dad." The image is of the 1964 World's Fair in New York.
