The Republicans have their big Michigan primary today. Some say Romney needs to win here to stay viable. And yes, I’m going to keep betting on Romney. Just try and stop from betting on Romney. You can’t do it. My Romney-betting impulse is simply too strong. And you are too weak.
\nIf 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 (second place in Iowa and NH, first place in Wyoming).
\nOn 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.”
\nThe 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!” Or maybe even, “Romney Romney Romney my dad I am Barack Obama.” Whichever he runs with you, you’re going to be emotionally impacted. Brace for it.
\nAlso, I’m going with two “dear friends” and three “my friends” for McCain in his quasi-concession speech.
\nAny other calls?
