Romney's Michigan win shakes up GOP race
2008-01-17
Not too sure why this shakes up the race. He was expected to win Michigan. The question was by how much -- and whether McCain would somehow beat him out. Answers: 9 points and no.
He's ahead right now on the delegate count, and is likely to be so after South Carolina and Nevada. I think that's called, 'front-runner'.
  • Mitt Romney gets first major win
  • McCain comes in second in Michigan, followed by Huckabee
  • Next contests on Saturday: Dems face off in Nevada, Republicans in S.C.
  • Clinton, the only Democratic front-runner on ballot, barely wins over "uncommitted"

#2  The Dems are really afraid of Romney. He's very hard to attack. The media kept saying Michigan was a "must win" for Romney. Why didn't they say that for Thompson? How 'bout Rudy? Or Paul? Only Romney had that distinction. And after placing a strong second in both New Hampshire AND Iowa, and outright taking Wyoming, you wouldn't think Michigan was do or die for any of them. The media was hoping for a Romney loss so they could try to derail the campaign as best they could. Of course their not-so-secret plan is to help the weakest Republican become the nominee.

IMHO she's making a lot of sense...
