Well, Mitt Romney staved off defeat tonight in his native state of Michigan, living to fight another day. This was important for the following reason - it denied McCain momentum going into South Carolina, where he will go toe-to-toe with Mike Huckabee.
The best case scenario for Democrats is that Huckabee and McCain end up within the 2-3 percentage points of each other in South Carolina next week, and Giuliani somehow manage to take Florida. Then we'll see a free-for-all all the way to the GOP Convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
