Mitt's still having fun, and he's still Number 1
In case you haven't heard, Mitt Romney won yesterday's Michigan GOP primary:
"Mitt Romney's resounding victory in Michigan last night has thrown the Blathering Class deep to their Pinot Noirs and Grigios looking for truth and guidance. The firm convictions and strong hunches which were held by the National Punditry as recently as New Year's Eve are now scattered like a child's box of crayons on the playroom." floor."
The Blathering Class needs to keep this in mind as the GOP campaign turns toward South Carolina: so long as Mitt Romney leads the delegate count, he is the front runner. Here's where the candidates stand today ...
Romney, 52 delegates
Huckabee, 22
McCain, 15
Thompson, 6
Paul, 2
Giuliani, 1
UPDATE:
GOPUSA says the Republicans won't be able to crown a presidential nominee any time soon:
"One thing about the Republican presidential race is certain -- the nomination won't be by acclamation.
"The fight for the party nod isn't likely to end until well into February -- or even beyond -- as Mitt Romney, John McCain and Mike Huckabee have divvied up the early states, and no clear front-runner with a burst of momentum has emerged. South Carolina is next up on Saturday.
"The battle between the top-tier candidates 'is going to be like the Bataan Death March,' said Ron Kaufman, a top adviser to Romney."
I couldn't agree more, Mr. Kaufman.
