Does Mitt Romney really believe this, or is he so desperate that he will say whatever he thinks will work:
Here in Michigan, the skies are cloudy all day, the trees are all the right height, people talk without an accent and most of the cars on the road are American made — as they ought to be.
Obviously, Romney has not been spending much time with his economic advisors recently.
The latter.
Obviously Romney has not been spending much time in Michigan these days, either. But most of the people he's not noticing aren't Republicans anyway.
Too bad that Michigan doesn't follow Iowa's example and have an open primary. Oh, wait...

I am particularly interested in those trees of the right height.

Have you seen this movement to have Democrats vote for Romney?

Don't wait for Mankiw to make assessments of the economic views of Republican candidates. He had a lot to say about the economic stance of Democratic candidates during their debates but none of the ill-informed and downright wrong economic positions of Republicans got any scrutiny. So much for an objective economist (is it a 'scientist' or 'engineer'?).

Without an accent? What exactly does that mean?

I might be overestimating his audience, but I presume that they understand that 'trees of the right height' and 'talking without an accent' are pretty meaningless, while the cloud remark isn't true.
So I suppose the first three remarks were meant as jokes. Then why not the fourth about cars?

Many places and centers offer business and trade promotions to both buyers and supplier.What about the differences in skill intensities across industries? The job losses in the relatively unskilled-labor intensive battery industry should have little effect on the relatively skilled-labor intensive machinery

Making a long distance car purchase is a little different than the online textbook shopping most people are used to. It might seem ridiculous to risk buying a used car that you’ve never even seen let alone test driven before, but there are a few instances when buying a long distance used car makes sense.
