Romney in Michigan

So what happens if Romney falters in the state where his father was the three-term governor? Does he pack it in? It seems to be a given that Romney won't win in SC either and that in fact he may do no better than third in the Palmetto State. Should he keep spending money and think that he will rise like the mythical phoenix on Super Tuesday? I don't think so. That strategy belongs to Rudy and may not be working for him. One candidate using that approach is risky enough. Being the second guy in would be suicidal.

So Mitt, it's do or die. Either win one for dear old dad or go home and salvage your career. You're a relatively young man. You've learned some lessons. Nothing says this is the end of Mitt politically. It's just the end in 2008. Ironically enough, in Michigan, where it all started.
