David Corn and Democratic strategist Tad Devine joined Al Sharpton on MSNBC’s PoliticsNation to discuss what Mitt Romney’s narrow victories in Michigan and Arizona say about his chances on Super Tuesday.

As the GOP primary drags on, will Romney ever be able to gain a definitive edge over the other candidates?
