Looks like Huckabee is guaranteed third place.

Is Michigan a winner-take-all state?

And, Michigan is historically very slow in displaying results.

Romney's looking very good for the nomination now. He'll probably win Nevada and get a strong third in South Carolina, and then he just needs to outspend McCain in Florida again.

Feb 5 will derail him, methinks

BIG blow to McCain. I think McCain will drop a little in the polls now. SC will be Huckabee for sure now.

No.

I dislike Mitt Romney more than ever. He doesn't even wait for McCain to finish the first sentence of his speech before he begins his. I guess Michigan Republicans really want to loose the presidency in 2008.



Mitt probably didn't have a camera inside McCain's headquarters, so he didn't know McCain was speaking when he got up there, or I'm sure he would have been kind enough to wait.

It doesn't matter who wins the GOP nod in my opinion, because I'm commited to voting for the Democratic nominee either Clinton, Obama, or Edwards.

Mr. "I don't want to go back to Reagan-Bush" quotes Reagan and Bush in the same sentence, rubbing it right in our faces. This party better send this guy a message real soon. He needs to be destroyed in the rest of the races.



I noticed that.  BTW, he meant Reagan and George W. Bush (according to Ari Fleischer)

Turns out Romney is not the candidate of change, according to the exit poll

Feelings About Bush Administration:

(Romney-McCain-Huckabee)

Enthusiastic (14%): 46-16-25
Satisfied (40%): 43-27-18
Dissatisfied (29%): 29-35-14
Angry (15%): 20-38-14



Not suprising, Romney is the most likely to be a third term of Bush.

Romney is currently in the lead in the delegate race with 18 of 30 delegates from MI committed.

Romney currently has 40 delegates (10 from MI)
Huckabee has 21
McCain has 10 (8 from MI)

Romney won liberals 31-28.  I don't understand.

However, McCain won Democrats by a fairly large margin.

Strategy by the Democrats.  McCain is a better November candidate than Romney, and thus the Democratic Party urged their voters to vote for Romney so they could have an easier time winning in November.

I'm pretty sure that McCain had 10 delegates *before* MI....seeing as how he would have gotten more than 2 delegates from winning NH.


You're right.  That is a typo -- he has 18

Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina says if McCain wins South Carolina, he has the nomination wrapped up.

Romney now has 12 of Michigan's 30 delegates and McCain has 9.  The other 9 are still out.

This puts Romney at 42, Huckabee at 21, McCain at 19.  Romney only needs 1,149 more delegates to win the nomination.
