Greetings from the Embassy Suites Hotel in Southfield, Michigan, where the Mitt Romney “election night event” will be held. The Romney team seems confident they have won – there’s a reason Romney is the only candidate still here in Michigan, while the others have decamped to South Carolina – but they keep citing the results from the New Hampshire Democratic race as reason for caution. They don’t mention that the Republican polls in New Hampshire were pretty much right on the money, which would bode well for Romney.

The campaign has located Romney’s speech in what must be the world’s smallest ballroom. Jammed with TV crews, there is very little space between the cameras and the stage, meaning a pretty small number of people will be able to fit in. On the other hand, Romney is guaranteed a packed house.
