Michigan Gets Its Mittens On

Although only twenty percent of the vote is in (as of 9:30 PM EST), it seems Mitt Romney has pulled off his first real victory in Michigan. This is sure to boost his campaign (and keep it going, period) and enabling the attack ads from the multi-millionaire Massachusettian (sp) to be able to spit upon the rest of the Republican pack. This is great news for Democrats, allowing us to watch the circular firing squad continue. No empathy for McCain and Huckabee in this corner. So, being that Michigan has an open primary, was this victory pushed on the nation by Michigan's Democrats?

No one can say for sure, but in the past Republican voters have certainly crossed over to elect fringe candidates like Jesse Jackson in 88' and others as well. So perhaps they got a taste of their own medicine, but Republican pundits will probably say otherwise. Eh, whatever, they can say what they want. What is for certain is that Mitt stays in the race and will continue to spend his campaign's money.
