Michigan: the Democrats stripped the state of their delegates (at least for now) to the national convention, since MI tried to leapfrog to too early a position in the primary process. The Republicans decided only to remove half of the state's delegates. As a consequence, Clinton was the only serious candidate running in Michigan today. On the Republican side, it was a six man race still.
The results are still coming in, but based on 30% of the returns or so, it appears that Willard "Mittens" Romney has finally won a contested primary: so now there are three Republicans who have each one a primary or a caucus (no, I'm not really counting Wyoming): and so Rudy 9iu11ani will no doubt claim that he has his opponents exactly where he wants them.
Except, of course, for the small fact that he looks likely to come in sixth today. After Ron "Crazy" Paul and Fred "Lazy" Thompson, as well as the three leaders. And in his firewall state of Florida he appears to be in fourth place in the polls.
Watching all the leads change, I'm in something of an "If today is Tuesday, this must be Belgium" kind of mood.... that or "Musical Chairs".
Yours, waiting for the music to stop,
N.
