What good is a blog if you can't get up on a soap box once in awhile...
Here is the requested link for the number of pledged delegates for each candidate. Romney was leading the pack before the Michigan primary as most of the states so far divide their delegates according to percentage of vote. Yesterday, the media was calling McCain the clear front-runner. According the the media, Romney would have to win Michigan to stay in the race. I find that this is interesting since he has been in the lead since New Hampshire. Now Mitt has strengthened his position. Until now, he hadn't won an eastern state outright, but they still contributed votes to his candidacy. If Wyoming hadn't broken the rules by moving their primary date before Feb 5, it would have meant just a few votes less than winning New Hampshire. Romney might even receive more votes from Wyoming than MCCain scores in NH. I think that Romney is the only GOP candidate that the Democrats (media) fear that they cannot beat in the general election.

Go Mitt Romney, you know most of the state of Utah is behind him. We loved what he did for the Olympics after all the scandles. He's a great guy!
Keep in touch!
I'm glad you posted your thoughts about the upcoming election. My mother-in-law who has read Newsweek for years says that Newsweek hasn't covered Romney much at all but each of the other candidates (Hilary, OBama, McCain and Huckabee) have had substantial coverage. She's ready to write a letter to Newsweek about it. So I think you're right that the (media) is scared of him winning the Republican ticket.
