Even the local Republican party wasn't ready for Mitt Romney's win in Michigan, sending out a congratulatory victory note to John McCain. O hateful Error, Melancholy's child, / Why dost thou show to the apt thoughts of men / The things that are not?

That bodes ill for McCain, ahead now in the national polls, doesn't it?
