Romney: Today's Vote Will Change GOP Race

(CBS)
GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. -- On a day that could either revive or effectively crush his presidential ambitions, Mitt Romney was brimming with confidence as he spoke to a small crowd of about 150 people at a "get out the vote" rally here.
"This is the day that's gonna change, I believe, the politics in the nation, as we get ready to select our nominee," Romney said. "I think Michigan is gonna vote for a Romney again—I'm planning on it."
In campaign stops across Michigan over the past week, Romney has evoked the name of his father George, who served as a popular governor of the state from 1963 to 1969. As he stood beside his wife Ann this morning, his dad's memory was still heavy on the candidate's mind.
"Ann, as I said, I think she fell in love with dad even before she fell in love with me," Romney said. "She knew my dad and thought he was the greatest and we obviously miss him on a day like today. He would be here, I'll tell you, I don't know how we'd hold him down. He'd be going from place to place to place. He'd be arguing with people that had a sticker on for somebody else, telling them, 'You can't vote for that guy! You gotta vote for my son.'"
Though Romney has relentlessly touted his Michigan ties, this morning he reverted back to Massachusetts, channeling the legendary Boston Celtics broadcaster Johnny Most to hammer home his campaign's message.
"And Washington is just fiddling and diddling, as an old announcer used to say in Boston," Romney said. "Washington is not getting the job done."

As most polls of likely primary voters in Michigan now show a near-tie between Republicans Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and John McCain, the Romney camp got a jolt Saturday as a key backer announced he was switching his support to Huckabee.
With three days to go before the primary, State Rep. Fulton J. Sheen of Allegan County, introduced Huckabee at the Amway Grand Hotel and announced he was changing to the former Arkansas governor from native Michigander Romney. In an exclusive interview the evening before his announcement, stalwart conservative Sheen -- namesake-nephew of the legendary Roman Catholic bishop in the 1940%u2019s and 50%u2019s -- said that Romney%u2019s attacks on Huckabee%u2019s Fair Tax proposal convinced him to switch to the Arkansas man.
