Michigan preview

Hey folks! It is merely hours away until the polls close in Michigan, which is looking like an increasingly more important primary for McCain and Romney by the minute. The Democrats, it has to be remembered, are not campaigning in the state due to no delegates being up for grabs, due to a violation of DNC rules. Obama and Edwards are not even on the ticket so Clinton should pick up the result here, as she is the only main candidate still on the ballot. But this result is pretty much null and void for her, but the Republicans still have delegates they can fight for. Currently Romney, according to the latest polls, is up in Michigan by 25%, with his closest rival McCain on 21%. But as well all know by now a 4% margin is by no means a guaranteed win, and in a few hours time this result between the front runners could be reversed. Without a doubt Romney needs the win, and if he does not win the state where his father was Governor in the 60s, and in fact is his birth state, then Romney might as well say goodbye to his dreams of being president. Tonight the Democrats are in Las Vegas for their debate, which is going to be one that will unearth the lingering tensions between Obama and Clinton, who's campaign has taken a battering recently due to her perceived racist comments and critique of Martin Luther King. As we plow towards Super Tuesday these races are getting meaner, tougher, dirtier and that's the way we like it!
