  What would have been surprising is Romney NOT winning in his native state, with his daddy as thrice-elected governor and where his campaign, headquartered in Dearborn, had spent huge amounts on advertising.  The press build-up of McCain winning Michigan - where he defeated George W. Bush in the 2000 primary - was a lesser version of the trumpets and drums accompanying Barack Obama from Iowa to N.H.  In each, the fave - Hillary in the hills, Willard in the De-e-e-e-troit assembly line - won. Surprising was the low turn-out.  Romney and Giuliani have sufficient stash for the long run, though some news stories report Hizzoner has his hand out. Hmmmm . . .most acceptable to the party establishment which really doesn't like the other two . . . benefits from increasing concerns about the economy . . . the biggest negatives of any candidate in the race . . . more people see of the candidate, the less they like . . . most rivals can't stand the candidate . . . do they really want to nominate a candidate with these liabilities?  Just knew that Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton had something in common!
