I feel compelled to make a public call on today's big GOP Michigan primary. Mostly because I've been wrong on just about every result so far. And yes, I'm going to bet on Romney. Just try and stop from betting on Romney. You can't do. My Romney-betting impulse is too strong and you are too weak.
If he actually wins, the thing I'm wrestling with is, what does he say? He can't flat out say "I'm the comeback kid" because he's been claiming to be in the lead with his "two silvers and a gold" line.
On the other hand, he's going to really want to say, "I'm the comeback kid!" because politicians love to say that phrase. It makes them feel like they're gruff, likable, wild west outlaws. Like, you know, "Butch Cassidy and the Comeback Kid."
The best I can figure is that either he'll say, "change change, kid this is comeback personal." Or possibly, "come change back kid personal personal Romney!" Either way, you're going to be emotionally impacted. Brace for it.
Also, I'm going with two "dear friends" and three "my friends" for McCain in his quasi-concession speech.
Any other calls?
