MittWatch: Mitt Romney Wins Michigan

The state of Michigan has performed CPR on the flagging presidential campaign of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, according to MSNBC and CNN. He is the projected winner of the state's primary. John McCain came in second. Maybe it was Romney's Michigan roots? Maybe it was his business experience? Maybe it was Muffy? Maybe it was the MittGram?

He needed this one. It was obvious from the banner on his official campaign homepage, which cried, "ON TO MICHIGAN! ON TO VICTORY!" The all caps come straight from Team Mitt.

While Team Mitt is likely letting loose a sigh of relief, his victory hints at a little problem with the Republican candidates. No one likes their options. Each state seems to be rotating their way through the candidates as if the candidates were ripening bananas. Huckabee would be too green, McCain would be on the old and moldy side, and Romney would be so perfect that a shrewd buyer might suspect pesticide use. Giuliani and Thompson would have been tossed immediately as unacceptable. The Republican voters seem to be shopping around to see if they can trade up.
