Michigan: Three-way tie
At this rate, we're gonna have 40 candidates who've won 40 primaries/caucii.
Romney won Michigan (he also won Wyoming, but who gives a fat rat's ass about Wyoming?) by 39%-30% over McRINO, while the Huckster garnered 16%
(In the Donk primary, the Duchess basically ran uncontested - and still only got 55%. Go figure.)
We now have a 1-1-1 tie going into South Carolina, where if Fred! doesn't make a helluva showing, he'd better hope the eventual nominee likes old running mates. 
The Huckster should rebound well in SC - maybe not enough to win, but still enough to give both Mormonboy & McRINO a scare or two.
The Demoscummic National Socialist Committee insisted their candidates not run, due to Michigan's Donk party daring to defy the national Donks and hold their primary when they chose. (The nerve of those Michiganders!)
IYAM (and you didn't, not that I give a shit), Obama should've run - he might've beaten the Duchess and caused real panic amongst the socialists. Oh, well.
Unless McRINO makes a dent in SC, his campaign may finally bite the dust. Folks here in the south have not forgotten McRINO-Feingold, or the education bill that Teddy the Red-Nosed Senator signed off on, or the Gang of Fourteen, or...
You get the idea.
Not that it would break my heart to see McRINO go. His 15 minutes of fame were over 8 years ago. Besides, Fred! needs that spot more. 
As always, watch this space.

Errr...
Umm...
Yer daft, Spats. There isn't any "tie" here. Hasn't been for quite some time. The nomination goes to the candidate with the most delegates, not the most states. Romney had the delegate lead even before Michigan, and he only received half the "normal" delegates from Michigan, because of the sanctions for moving the primary up.
The interesting thing will be to see if someone can win the nomination while winning the least number of primaries or caucuses. That's a mathematical, and real, possibility.
Stop paying attention to who "won" each state, and start paying attention to how many delegates each candidate gained in each state. You'll have a realistic idea of how each candidate is doing, rather than the propoganda from the media.

I'm not counting delegates yet. No one is, as far as I know, outside of maybe Hannity. I mean, we've barely had 10% of the states weigh in on this whole mess.
Once "Super Tuesday" rolls around, I'll care a little more about delegates.
