Michigan Primary Pointless and Meaningless Coffehousing Thread
Let's just call it what it is. Nobody knows anything about what the results will be. So just lay out what you want to happen starting on Tuesday.
I'll take Romney by two or three points in Michigan, giving him enough momentum to take some votes out of McCain's hide in South Carolina, where Huckabee or (even better!) Fred Thompson rises to the top; Florida, where Giuliani recovers; and California, just to increase the chaos.
Do your part!
I'm just into Romney getting the nomination. I like Republican chaos well enough, but I'm happy to cut directly to the least dangerous guy winning.
Or actually... let's play out your scenario, and then top it off with brokered convention - Gingrich.

Mitt Romney: You'll come for the magic speeches; you'll stay for the magic undies.

What I want to see is the Huckster winning Michigan, getting him on a roll that continues through SC, FL, and a bunch of Super Tuesday states.
At which point the GOP royalists go apeshit, mount a reasonably strong but ultimately futile "Stop Huck" effort behind either McCain or Mitt, with the intra-GOP civil war going full steam right up to the convention which nominates Huck, who loses big in the fall.
