As a Michigan resident, I am so angry that we were disenfranchised by both major parties in the primaries. What is preventing us from having truly fair and reasonable primaries - all on the same day nationwide? It would more fairly reflect the thoughts of the voters, stop the bloated impact of the early-voting states, and cut down this ridiculous and expensive long run of pre-election jockeying.

Mitt Romney is the biggest phony to come down the political pike since, well, John Edwards. His "Mittness" reminds me of somebody stuck in a 1950's time warp. To hear Rush and Hannity prop him up and bash McCain shows just how hypocritical and irrelevant those two have become.

Look, John MCain is the ONLY Republican who can beat the Democrats in November, and you don't have to suspend disbelief to know that.

A good, solid win for the most capable candidate. After winning 2/3 of the Wyoming primary votes and 39% in Michigan's, he has the two strongest firsts in the primaries so far, with 2 strong seconds in the other two states. This is good momentum. It will probably be followed by a win in Nevada this Saturday, and will probably also result is a strong finish if not a win in South Carolina. He definitely has the best overall support.

John McCain has more thoughtfulness, courage and character than all the other Republican and Democractic candidates combined. Can any of the others come close to his record as a Vietnam POW? And he actually tries to think about the issues and is not afraid to say things that he believes are right, rather than mindlessly spouting what the pollsters tell him will work with the electorate.

McCain told the Michigan voters the reality that community college retraining is the best hope for the unemployed, while Romney pandered and acted like the old traditional factory jobs can be brought back. Please...like he would really be able do that once elected President.

It is pathetic that so many Republican primary voters were taken in by a slick snake oil salesman like Romney. Can anyone imagine Romney as a POW in the Hanoi Hilton? Go John McCain!!!

As I said in all the other blogs. Mitt Romney's victory is a clear mandate from Michigan voters to fix the economy that they have dealt with for years and that is destroying the United States businesses and tax payers now. It is the Economy and Mitt Romney is NOT STUPID.... The Next President is the economic candidate and that is Mitt Romney. Nothing new since he has been the only candidate to consistently point out the economy since Iowa and showed his experience as Governor, Business Owner in Private Sector, and improvement to the Olympics at a challenging time.

Romney has two golds and two silvers. No one of either party has than many votes . Hillary has only one win overall.

Mitt Romney is a man with a plan. The economy is the No. 1 concern among Americans and Romney has the experience to deal with it.

Now, if Americans just knew how to live within their means ...

Way to go Michigan! Finally a state that listened tot the candidates instead of what the media wants them to hear. I'm sure we'll still hear from the Huckabee and McCain camps that they are such honest and straight talking men since they can't talk about their liberal issues. I'm glad to see that Michigan could see through it and vote for Romney a man of values and also right on the issues!

Well, three big primaries down, and Romney finds himself continuing to stay in the top two. He may be the one! On another note, Ron Paul continues to surprise, much to the dismay of FOX and their so called "fair and balanced" reporting. The last three big primary states have voted more for Paul over Guillani and/or Thompson each time, getting double the numbers of the former NYC mayor, and the sleepy senator. Yet who is kept out of the debate? Who continues to be stymied by all the media outlets? Ron Paul. They must be either afraid of his message, or they are afraid of not being able to manipulate the general public as they have for so many years by selecting the "viable" candidates for us. Case in point: From Aug. 2006 to Aug. 2007 Fox news had used Paul's name just over 5,000 times. In the same time period, McCain's name was uttered over 90,000 times. Yet despite this complete lack of "balance" Paul has been able to get more votes than Rudy and Fred (who have had no problems in being seen, and spoken of by the 24 hour punditry known as cable news.) If CNN has the courage to post this, I will be one surprised citizen!

After the Dem and Gop parties punished the Michigan voters by restricting their representation (delegates) in the upcoming conventions, the voters should carefully consider a Third Party candidate in the general election. The Michigan voters were rejected by the Two Party system.

It's amazing how a sniffiling little whining man can muster up so many votes for the most powerful office in the world. Just by listening to him I'd say that he's incapable of engaging the people and like hillary, only wants the presidency because of selfishness. do you actually think these two candidates could get anything done in washington? Can you imagine hillary trying to bring republicans onto her side to pass one of her initiatives while being both brash and arrogant while proposing it. Can you imagine hillary going to the middle east to talk to leaders who are gender bias and could care less what a woman thinks about there policies, then to have her come back to the states and cry because things just didn't work out. or imagine mitt Romney taking over commander and chief and having to stick with a plan regaurdless of what the polls say. or lastly imagine mitt romney just not coming to your state to address the problems going on because a poll somewhere says that engaging too much in the educational crises of "blank state" will greatly damage your position in the republican party...please people...do yourself a favor and vote with a little sense this year...do not blow it this time....

Mitt Romney is the republican John Kerry, FLIP FLOP FLIP FLOP.

Anne from Detroit,

Come to Mass and ask the Republican Party how good Romney was. He was an awful Governor and will sell out his values to get votes. He has no pricipal and will sell out to the highest bidder.

The only good thing about tonite is that he will blow millions more and still lose.

Better than Huckbee, Smart MI.

Michigan made a wise choice. It doesn't matter that Romney is a Mormon or whatever; it matters that he has the experience to change things. He has proven his ability to change things. Romney is smart, effective, and productive. Taking nothing away from the other candidates; Romney is just the strongest overall Republican candidate.

If he had to fight that hard to win a state he's from, how do you think he will fare with the public at large?

Yawn......

How can this be a contest when only one party is running?????????

That slimebag Romney wouldn't even let McCain get two words of his concession speech out before jumping up to hog the spotlight. What a lack of class! I've voted Republican in every election since I turned 18. I proudly voted for Bush twice. I will never, EVER vote for this man. Nominate Romney and lose me.

Now Mitt-Witt the flip flop can go to So Carolina and say golf courses and water front resort properties are in his DNA....and of course he will never let another huricaine hit that area as long as he's president.

So gald to see him win as he can blow another 10 mil in the next few states...how much has he spent of his own money so far??? 40 million?

Did he win because Republicans voted for him or because Democrats did not have to really vote and took the Daily Kos' advice and voted for him.

I think the Republicans should just say the heck with the primaries and vote for Kucinich.

Congrats Mitt! You deserve it!

Good for him. He seems a decent man. Fama

Amazing.

Thank heavens Michigan doesn't make up the mind for the rest of America. If it ends up being a Mitt Romney/Hillary Clinton race, I'm not voting.

Michigan Republicans are idiots. I would be willing to bet that the majority of people voting for Romney are the same people that also believed Bush twice. Romney is nothing but a corporate elitist that could care less about the middle-class. In fact the more broke the American middle-class is, the more profits corporations make. It's a global economy, the middle-class is now in India and China. Multi-national corporations don't need us anymore to drive "their" economy. Romney has money but not as much as he's spent on this election so you have to wonder who's paying.

Up to as recently as a few weeks ago, I also remember people, all Republicans, flaming anyone that even suggested the economy was going down. I wonder how they felt watching our idiot-in-chief pleading with the Arabs to increase oil production and then being told flat-out, NO! He looked like a transient on a street corner looking for a handout. Funny, that's what Republicans are always accusing Democrats of.

Even yet, I don't really blame Bush because he's too dumb. But this mess did start as soon as he came into office giving Republicans complete control of all 3 branches. Cheney's secret meetings and back-room deals with Halliburton and defense contractors. Tom DeLay, Jack Abramoff, the K-Street gang, and scandal after scandal of greedy Republicans drunk on greed and selling off America for a buck.

Unfortunately, we will all now have to pay the price, especially if Romney is in the WH which, thank God, he won't because Democrats outnumber Republicans and we are extremely motivated!

The Mitt-mentum is building – people like to vote for a winner , it's good for Mitt to carry this on and show some good morale to the Republican party.

Congratulations, Gov. Romney on winning Michigan !

Go get em Mitt!!! Can't wait to see you here in beautiful North Carolina!
