Mitt's a hit

Mitt Romney won his home state and jumped early to his evening speech, cutting off John McCain. As I type, he is focusing on his outsider status, and he is going to try to ride this to victory.

I am a bit surprised at how much he is leading tonight, but the numbers are slightly skewed. It's important to remember that his dad was the governor of this state in the not too distant past. He's got history, and I think this worked more in his favor than his Washington outsider approach.

America wants change. There's no doubt about that, but I don't know if he is the right person to be focusing on change. Sure, it's the buzz word, but he is about as old school Republican as this race has to offer.

On a side note, Mitt referred to all three major Democrats tonight, and it appears he is staying away from annointing anyone there. This is a definite change in tone.

On another side note, Mitt just asked his audience three questions. Is Washington broken? Can it be fixed? And is this the team to do it? I would be squirming in my seat if I was part of his campaign. Candidates can't ask questions when they are on the stage, especially when pushing for big change. They need to be giving answers, and asking questions, even rhetorical ones gives of an unconscious message of doubt. That was a mistake, and he will need to stop that little trick if he wants to win.
