Last Call: Predict the winner tonight in Michigan.

[hotpprs]

One thing is apparent even if Rick comes in a close 2nd. The ground game is coming up huge for him.
His campaign staff, or maybe just the one or two top people advising him, have been greatly underestimated. It was widely reported that Mitt's "organization" was just vastly superior then anyone else in this primary battle. Does that really seem to be the case at this point?
After Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado and now Michigan, I don't think you can say it is all just about Rick himself. There are very subtle things happening in this campaign that have to be attributed to some very smart people behind the scenes. And I don't think with this crazy primary schedule any candidate has the time to plan all these moves for themselves.
For example, Rick had a horrible bump down after the Arizona debate. Most campaign's can't recover from something like that in just a week. (like Gov Perry).
But just a few subtle things may have helped Rick's campaign reverse things again.
Very very small things. Like Santorum's Ford NASCAR sponsorship during the Daytona 500, or the college "snob" comment, even though it was directed at Obama.
