Mitt's Big Night

... may be even bigger than it looks. As has been pointed out often today, Michigan faces some of the worst economic troubles in the nation. Romney addressed those problems in a more sustained and detailed way than his main Republican challengers in the state (Huckabee, McCain).

Now, question: What if the whole national economy continues to deterioriate over the coming months? What if conditions everywhere begin to look more and more like conditions in Michigan? In that case, tonight's exposure of the weakness of the Huckabee/McCain economic message might have some large implications for the behavior of Republicans elsewhere - not to mention the general electorate.
