The Media is Insane

One more thought here. The media appears to me to be largely insane right now. Bless their hearts. By this I mean crazy, unconnected to reality. Seriously, if I hear one more "Romney's doomed" or "If he doesn't win Michigan, it's over," I'm going to lose it myself.

Now, if Romney at some point decides he wants to move on from campaigning, that's his right and his business, but at least from what I've seen there's no indication he's thinking that way. But in terms of him being right in the heat of the race...of course he is!

As outlined below, Romney leads the current delegate count. He also leads the total vote tallies, with more total votes so far than any other Republican candidate. He has from all accounts I've seen the strongest overall organization. And he has the resources he needs (though again more would be helpful right now, for him and all the candidates).

The one legitimate danger perhaps in Michigan is that a McCain win would be interpreted as "two in a row and therefore a trend" by the media. But I would see Michigan right now more as an opportunity than a danger zone. He has real strengths in the state to draw on. And a win there truly would be tremendous for Romney, and could really propel him forward.

So let's do this thing!

Spread the word. Romney is the strongest leader, has solid and smart conservative positions, and has the ability to compete toe-to-toe with either Democrat that comes out of this process. He unites the Republican Party where the others will tend to divide it. Make it Michigan!
