Michigan/Debate Roundup

I'm away from the teevee, but what I'm gathering from initial reports is that Romney took Michigan by promising every laid-off autoworker in the state a free pony and their own AMC Pacer, and the folks at NBC News are a bunch of Page Six gossip columnists who are openly contemptuous of discussing issues and would rather try to cause rifts in the Democratic Party for their own ratings glory. The candidates aren't biting, and it sounds like the debate got into some real substantive territory, especially when Statler and Waldorf stopped asking the questions and the candidates picked it up.

Overall, a good night for Democrats.

(also 38% of Democrats in Michigan voted uncommitted today, which means that Clinton's delegate lead if the DNC decides to seat Michigan's delegates won't be as big a factor. And even if you're a Clinton fan, it'd be pretty weak to have her win the nomination based on an intra-party delegate fight in Michigan.
