The short answer is that it appears that Mitt Romney is going to win in Michigan -- something I have always considered to be a foregone conclusion.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who badly needs to win Tuesday's Michgian primary, has an 8-point lead over Sen. John McCain of Arizona in a McClatchy/MSNBC poll of Michigan voters to be released Sunday.

Romney had a narrower lead in a Detroit Free Press poll and was tied in a Detroit News poll.

Now there are those, including the author of this article in Politico, who insist that Michigan is a "must win" state for Romney. I don't know that it is. After all, a series of strong second place finishes would show him to have broad popular support in various parts of the country, while his rivals have spotty support. Indeed, that plays out int he current delegate count, which at this early stage of the game has Mitt Romney leading all other Republican candidates.
