How oh how will we ever know who Republican Michiganders (Michalopes? Michofacists?) really want as their presidential nominee? While certain subversive types were promoting votes for Mitt Romney , Lieberman for Lieberman Party homunculus, Joe Lieberman, was out pimping his BFF John McCain:

ABC News’ Bret Hovell Reports: Sen. Joseph Lieberman called on Michigan’s Independents and Democrats on Tuesday to come out and vote for Sen. John McCain in the Republican primary, saying he is convinced that McCain will "become our next great American president."

"I urge them to come out today and stand for a man who is a great American patriot," Lieberman said at a joint town hall meeting with McCain in Ann Arbor, Mich.

"There’s no competitive Democratic primary," Lieberman added. "I know there’s some other moderate and conservative Democrats like myself."

He is speaking, of course, about Peter Beinart and, you know… Republicans.

So would this primary mean a mandate (in a strictly non-Jeff Gannon way) for John McCain? Not according to Mitt:

McCain’s rival for the Republican nomination, former Governor Mitt Romney, R-Mass., suggested Tuesday that if McCain wins in Michigan, it will be because of the crossover votes from non-Republicans.

So that’s a bad thing, right? Mrs. Hugh Hewitt Romney doesn’t think so:

Cue the fat lady for Huck and McCain. The former can’t get above 15% with a huge effort, and McCain can’t win in an open primary state, one crucial to the fall, even when the Dems take a bye?

Quite frankly, Hugh and Mitt need to get on the same page (in a strictly non-Mark Foley way).
