This seems like just about the worst idea ever:

With just over a week to go before Michigan voters head to the polls, Mitt Romney is enlisting the help of one of his highest-wattage surrogates: Donald Trump.

It seems to me that for every 10 people Trump reaches, he’ll leave 9 undecided and turn 1 against Romney. Donald Trump is not exactly a likeable figure, especially after his abortive presidential run. Is Romney really that desperate?
