Appearing on Fox News, Mitt Romney played down the suggestion that barely squeaking out a win in his birth state of Michigan, would show his campaign is floundering:

I plan to win in Michigan; if for some reason I don’t, I’ve got by far the most delegates. We’ve got states down the road. We’ve got good states in our column and I expect to get the delegates need win. If I’m turned down by Massachusetts – where I lived in for forty years, where I served as governor – that may be harder to explain.
