Mitt Romney has captured a crucial victory in Michigan. He had desperately needed to win in a big state. The outcome of the latest primary means Republicans have three proven candidates in contention for the nomination.
Politico:
Romney throws an already confused race into disarray by becoming the third different candidate to win a state. He came in second in both Iowa and New Hampshire, and won in tiny Wyoming.
In a speech shortly after the last polls closed, he declared his victory “the beginning of a come back and a comeback for America.”
“Is Washington broken?” he demanded, to the cheers of supporters. “Can it be fixed? Are we the team to get it done?” His backers shouted “Yes!”
