Romney wins in Michigan, CNN projects

(CNN) -- Mitt Romney will win the Michigan GOP primary, CNN projects. With 10 percent of precincts reporting, Romney had 37 percent of the vote compared to Arizona Sen. John McCain's 31 percent. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee had 16 percent of the vote, followed by Texas Rep. Ron Paul with 7 percent. Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson had 4 percent, and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani trailed with 3 percent.

On the Democratic side, Sen. Hillary Clinton was the only front-runner on the ballot. Party officials voted to strip Michigan of its Democratic delegates for its decision to schedule the primary so early.

In a show of solidarity with the party, the top-tier Democratic presidential candidates, except for Clinton, asked that their names be removed from the ballot.

But some Democratic leaders in the state urged supporters of Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, Clinton's closest rivals, to vote "uncommitted" in the primary. Under state law, their supporters cannot cast write-in votes for them. But if at least 15 percent of the voters in a congressional district opt for "uncommitted," delegates not bound to any candidate could attend the national convention. That could allow Edwards or Obama supporters to play a role in candidate selection -- if the national party changes its mind and decides to count Michigan's delegates.

guess my prediction of Romney winning the nomination wasn't so bad after all.

He has to navigate tough waters ahead.

Another victory for the Angel Moroni!




Hahahahaha!

MoMitwitum!

God, I hate that guy. What a tool.

Well at least he kept McCain from having McCainermentum.

Plastic Soul, man, Plastic Soul

The difference between Romney and McCain is 7%. Probably only 1 or 2 delegate difference.

The media has been talking about this huge surge for McCain and that the moderate Dems and Independents will cross over and potentially vote for him. (OH YEAH, SCREW Lieberman and his endorsement of McCain.)

So we have one state for Huck, one for McCain and one for Romney. Doesn't seem like a very clear course for the Repukes.

He got Wyoming as well.

For all the time he spent here, I thought he was just visiting.

:evilgrin:

Keep going, crazies! Fight the RNC's efforts to make McCain the nominee!

His campaign is by far the most entertaining trainwreck going today.

This is good news. Paul beat the other two fuckwits, both of whom should drop out. Giuliani couldn't even beat Thompson.
