Romney wins Arizona, and a narrow victory in Michigan. Both he and Santorum are using the same event to declare a kind of victory. Romney won, but barely, and therefore concludes "the win is all that matters," which is hardly true for him in contests that he's narrowly lost. Santorum lost, but proclaims "the fact that we almost won in your backyard means that people like me more," a logic that will hardly carry over for him when the fact that he lost to Romney among fellow Catholics is considered.
Denial is a bastard, it is true.
Observe: the state of Michigan is won
For Romney. Rick is beaten, isn’t done,
But both are claiming something of a coup
On one another. “Michigan is yours,”
Santorum says, “but almost fell to me.
Therefore this loss is but a victory.”
The logic, though, won’t follow for the scores
Of fellow Catholics who voted Mitt.
And Romney, much the same, has given blame
To those who, for a day, would, voting, claim
That they were GOP. No one will quit
Recoloring a loss with winning hue.
The truth is this: we’re not that into you.
