The Meaning of a Romney Loss in Michigan
At the beginning of the primaries, many analysts thought Romney had the electing in the bag. Yet, Santorum’s continued success as well as the success of some of the third and fourth place individuals has shown that Romney still has his work cut out for him. Romney loses the Michigan primary next week, he could be in for a long battle.
Romney is a native son of Michigan. This means a Michigan loss would create a bit of a PR mess. But the campaign has plenty of funds and is very well organized, so they would be able to pull out after a Michigan loss. It would just mean that his work is going to have to double to triple in scope through the end of the primary season.
