<p>Obama is already running on it:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>In the primary, it really looks like a wash. Public Policy Polling this week&#0160;<a href="http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2012/02/michigan-gop-race-tightens.html" target="_blank">found</a>&#0160;a third of Republicans [in Michigan] say they’re more likely to vote for someone who opposed the rescue, compared to 27% who see it as a liability and 35% who say they don’t care. The general election numbers are different though. Obama leads the GOP field by around 20 points in Michigan,&#0160;<a href="http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/22/10474814-nbc-poll-romney-santorum-deadlocked-in-michigan-romney-leads-in-arizona" target="_blank">according to Marist</a>, in part on strength derived from the popular auto bailout: 63% of voters say it was a good thing, including 42% of Republicans, and most think Obama deserves credit for the policy.</p>

<p>Know hope. There&#39;s sanity out there.</p>
