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".

Hillary Sheds Tears & Edwards Responds

...After going on the offensive for the last few days, Hillary Clinton took a new route and chose to get emotional during a Q&A period with her supporters.



The good news is for the Senator is that she has recovered about half her deficit going into today's New Hampshire vote, the bad news is her biggest supporter isn't the draw he used to be. Nor is he the magician he used to be as he can't make his wife younger, male or black either.

Meanwhile the bad news for John Edwards is that he sounded like a dick in responding to Hillary's emotional "outburst".

"I think what we need in a commander-in-chief is strength and resolve, and presidential campaigns are tough business, but being president of the United States is also tough business."

Stay classy John.
