Mitt Romney Mistakes New Hampshire For Iowa

[ClarkUSA]

A tracker for the Democratic independent expenditure group American Bridge 21st Century caught Romney confusing the Granite State with the Hawkeye State (emphasis added):

I had Arnold Schwarzenegger come to my state and try to poach jobs from my state. I thought, "How in the world could he do this to a fellow Republican?" He put billboards up! With him on the billboard. And it said, you know, he was in a T-shirt there and it says "Come to California." So what do you think, I put billboards up in his state. And, uh, it had me in a T-shirt, flexing my muscles. And it said, "Smaller muscles, but much lower taxes. Come to Massachusetts." You guys are supposed to do that here in Iowa. I wouldn’t be able to compete in that case. Zero tax rate is pretty darn good.

Manchester is in New Hampshire, not Iowa.

4. Actually, he's lying.

There was a billboard put up by Swartzenegger in Mass:



But the counter-billboard put up by Romney in California had him in a shirt and tie.

Romney, never one for muscle shirts, is pictured in a shirt and tie. In Schwarzenegger's advertisement, the former action hero wears a tight white T-shirt adorned with the California flag, his arms crossed to accentuate his large biceps. ''Arnold says: CALIFORNIA WANTS YOUR BUSINESS," the billboard declares.
