Michigan Sez: Mitt's the Shit!

Don't call him the comeback kid but Mitt Romney becomes the third Republican in as many events to win a primary/caucus.

Romney proclaimed his triumph as a "victory of optimism". And he spent over $2 million in Michigan to promote such optimism.

Meanwhile John McCain finished second and Mike Huckabee finished what might be considered a disappointing third. Ron Paul finished fourth again ahead of Rudy Guiliani, who continued his push to prove he can run a 50-state election by skipping out of another state.

On the Democratic side it was a dog & pony show as Obama and Edwards took their names off the ballot when Michigan's 158 delegates were yanked by the DNC after the state chose to move its primary over to the January 15 day. Hillary stayed on the ballot and cruised to an easy victory over "uncommitted".
