Mitt Nicks Rick In Mich Mish-Mosh: Four Head to O-HI-O!

Mitt May Win Right To Lose Michigan in the Fall!
Democrats, Pro-Vomit Vote Not Enough For Santorum!
Arizona Goes Romney! Border Remains Calm!

Mitt Romney did almost enough to dispel any lingering doubts that he will be the Republican Party's nominee for president by defeating Rick Santorum in the all-important Michigan primary yesterday.  Romney crossed the 40% threshold but failed to defeat his chief rival by more than 10%, which would have ended any debate about Romney's being the GOP standard-bearer. Still, a win is a win, and now the field moves on to Super Tuesday where there is now even a doubt that Newt can win his home state of Georgia.

How did I do with my predictions? Let's check.

For Arizona:
                     Prediction                Actual
Romney          43%                         47.3%
Santorum        30%                         26.6%
Gingrich          18%                         16.2%
Paul                  8%                           8.4%

For Michigan:

Romney          39%                          41.1%                   
Santorum        37%                          37.9%
Paul                12%                          11.6%  
Gingrich          10%                           6.5%

All told, not too bad.

So now it's on to Tuesday Grande, where the big prize will be Ohio and the attack ads will come fast and furious. It's difficult to fathom what else Mitt and Rick could say that could be any more outrageous than their embarrassing forays into trees, bodily functions, automobile choices, anti-intellectual diatribes and invocations of Satan/Obama (really, have you ever seen them in the same room together?) Interesting.
