Curious question: With the main storyline being that Romney won because of support from the GOP mainline (rather than independents,) why is it that so many of the lefty blogs also support him? (Kos, TPM, Atrios...)
I don't think Kos, etc support Romney. I think they "support" Romney as the weakest, credible GOP candidate.
I haven't followed the GOP Michigan rhetoric beyond sound bites, but what I found interesting is that Mitt was talking an awful lot about jobs, helping workers, aiding those displayed by outsourcing... Damn near Democratic. In short, he was promising a chicken in every pot and a job for everyone -- no matter how badly he'd screw the rest of the country to pander to Michigan. They ate it up.
This is not the America I was brought up to believe in.
This blog seeks to highlight abuse of power, deception, corruption, and just plain bad ideas in government and corporations.

Fair statement, but he is getting a little love from alot of the leftsided blogs. Atrios, TPM.....
To your second point, maybe Michigan is the first place he could really run as CEO.
