Michigan Surprise

A lot is being made in the media about Romney's win in the Michigan Republican primary. What is arguably far more interesting is that Ron Paul, the Republican that Republicans despise, beat both great-hope Fred Thompson and Rudy 9iu11ani. In fact, Paul beat Thompson in all but 7 of the 83 Michigan counties and beat 9iu11ani in every single one. Sure, both of them basically phoned in their campaign, concentrating instead on South Carolina and Florida, but still, Ron Paul isn't supposed to be doing this according to conventional wisdom.
