Someone was a bit red in the face last night:

LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan Republican Party mistakenly sent out a news release Tuesday night congratulating John McCain for winning the state’s GOP primary.

It quickly issued a second statement praising Mitt Romney for his win.

“Heading into tonight, this race was too close to call, so we prepared a release for either scenario,” state GOP spokesman Bill Nowling said. “We simply pushed the wrong button.”

The Associated Press named Romney the GOP winner when polls closed in Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula at 9 p.m. EST.

As fluid as all of these races have been, something like this was bound to happen.

Now let’s see, we have had Mitt, John, and Mike each take a prize. Maybe next, Fred, followed by Rudy? This is a real horse race at the moment.
