The importance of Michigan grows. It may be the last opportunity for Romney to recover after a loss in Iowa and/or NH or it may be the place where he seals the nomination. For McCain it could continue momentum from a possible NH win or prove he was a "one state wonder" only in the Granite State. Will the Detroit News do for McCain there what the Union Leader did in NH? The state's largest paper did endorse him today but in respectful tones with a limited amout of Romney bashing. I don't think the Detroit News has the same ummph with conservatives as the Union Leader but it may indicate a repeat of the pattern in other states where McCain gets a lot of local editorial support which is then easily converted into ad material. Romney, by the way, has been up in Michigan for awhile with TV ads.
