Looks like Faux and Mitsy are poised to blame the Dems for defeat.
Interesting how every candidate that shows poorly has some excuse prepared the day before the event.
Are they all alcohol syndrome babies, not to disparage those poor children?

Is it a "dirty trick" for Democrats and Independents to vote for Romney?

In a final burst of campaigning in Michigan Tuesday, embattled GOP front-runner Mitt Romney complained that rival Rick Santorum was making automated phone calls to Democrats and urging them to vote against Romney in the Republican race. (Although only declared Republicans can vote in the party primary, voters can change their affiliation to cast a ballot.)

In an appearance on Fox News, Romney said the robocalls were "outrageous and disgusting — a terrible, dirty trick" and accused Santorum of "teaming up" with President Obama's campaign. "This is a new low for his campaign and that's saying something," Romney said.

But Romney himself has acknowledged voting in the other party's primary to influence the outcome. During the Jan. 26 Republican debate, Newt Gingrich mentioned that Romney had voted for Paul Tsongas in a Democratic primary. Romney then elaborated:

ROMNEY: Just a — just a short clarification. I — I've never voted for a Democrat when there was a Republican on the ballot. And — and in my state of Massachusetts, you could register as an independent and go vote in which — either primary happens to be very interesting. And any chance I got to vote against Bill Clinton or Ted Kennedy, I took.

He just can't shoot straight.

Not sure if I'm going to vote for Santorum or write in Obama.

BUT...he has banked the majority of early voting ballots.

Geez, too bad the other candidates don't have the organization to push early voting...or maybe
we could sink Romney for sure.

He won't get much mileage from this win. The CW will say he won only because he banked the early votes. If he can't win Michigan resoundingly, where else can he win? I think the process will continue up to the convention and that means more money and blood will be spilled as the teapublicans/conservatives/anti-socialists/fundamentalists keep tearing into each other.

He'll probably get barely enough delegates to clinch the nomination by the end. Or if not, the unpledged superdelegates will back him if he has a plurality of pledged delegates. Or if there aren't enough superdelegates, he'll make a deal with Santorum or Paul to get their support in the months before the convention.

But he'll suffer the damage of a loooooong primary campaign and the blow to his image of struggling with Rick Santorum.

Could be really ugly for Mitt by the time the convention rolls around. If people think he's the nominee, undeservedly, I expect there's going to be a lot of unhappy conservative voters.

Santorum seems to be fairly confident, Romney seems to be trying to explain away a defeat.

And apparently a GOP internal poll showed the same results as PPP on Monday, Santorum + 5.

I can't wait for the chaos tomorrow if Santorum pulls it out
