Romney to throw hat into the ring

He’s done the exploratory committee thing, and today, he will (or has?) announce(d) his intentions to run for the Republican nomination for president of the US. Drudge has an advance copy of Governor Romney’s speech.

He’s announcing the speech in the state he was born in: Michigan. Mark Hemingway at NRO explains why Michigan is such an important state in terms of primary votes for presidential contenders.
