Participating in a home state election is a humongous advantage. Is the media mentioning that "little" fact?
I don't see Romnney winning many more states.
I think McCain and perhaps Huckabee with his appeal to bible-nuts, could pull something off.

1. I heard at least 3 people on AAR today who said they voted for him too...
Since their vote wouldn't count in the Dem primary, they switched for the day and voted for Romney or Paul to screw with the Repug results.

8. It doesn't happen 100% of the time, but doesn't mean it's not a humongous advantage

4. I think I persuaded one of the guys I work with to vote for him today.
It was between him and Ron Paul.

7. He not only was born there...
His dad was a governor there. And at one time, a bigwig in one of the auto companies (American Motors, I think). The Romney name is WELL known in Michigan.
