When John McCain announced the Michigan leaders who were backing his campaign it seemed like a decent shot across Mitt's bow taking steam out of his home state.

No longer.

Today, Governor Romney introduced the supporters for his Michigan team. I have mixed feeling about the annoucement. Don't get me wrong. The team is solid. It just means I have A LOT to do on the endorsement database.

The team includes.

- 44 Current and Former County GOP Chairs
- 41 Current and Former GOP State Committee Members
