FINAL EXIT POLLS SHOW: Romney 34, McCain 28, Huckabee 17... Developing...
Click to expand...

Due to upping their primary/caucus dates the Democratic National Committee has striped all delegates from Michigan. Likewise the Republican National Committee has removed half of the delegates Michigan. Also Candidates Barack Obama and John Edwards will not be on the ballet in protest of Michigan's primary date

Per Drudge... so it looks likeRomney rolls on if that holds

On the Dem Side, the only question is how much Hillary beats "uncommitted" by, for delegates that probably won't count unless this goes all the way to the convention (looking increasingly more likely).

*Edit*: Final Exit Polls now from Drudge... Romney & Huckabee up a point, McCain down a point.

The delegates won't count no matter what.

But yeah, Romney not with a commanding lead, but still at least he wins Michigan, his very own heartland.

Republicans still have 30 delegates up for grabs in Michigan. Dems have zero.

Ya I know, I was talking about his comments on the delegates for the Democrats possibly counting down the line:p

A Romney win, if it happens, is a mixed blessing for Romney. There has been an underground movement to encourage Dems to vote for Romney in order to keep the GOP race in turmoil and have them spend lots of money attacking each other. (Or maybe they figure that he would be a great nominee since a Mormon might be a big turn-off to many in the Christian-right?)

So maybe Romney will 'win' but only because his opponents want him to win.

I voted for Paul since the Dem's primary means nothing, and he's the only one who cares about the deficit and isn't pro-war.

I hope Huckabutt is beyond last. I did not like that guy to begin with and then he made that constitution comment... I hope he just goes away after this election and we never hear from him again.

Reference for the comment HERE.

Huh, why is Obama not on the ballot ? And Uncommitted ? Why ? Is Michigan the only state with that option ? American primaries are getting more and more confusing.

I voted for Huckabee mwuahaha. Kos suggested people vote for Romney but I figured he'd win the state anyway; might as well try to get Huck in at second place, thus throwing the race into even more disarray

came close to throwing a joke-vote at Romney, but decided to go with Kucinich at the last minute, since he's my second choice after Obama.

thefro maybe you should put this warning into your OP so people won't keep coming in wondering why Hillary is the only one on the ballet

hank goodness. It was looking like McCain was going to win another state. I absolutely hate that old turd. Shame that the delegates weren't able to participate. Mightve translated into an obama win.

All I know is that I wont be voting for a democrat in the presidential election. Dont care about my state at all? To bad, so sad.


If I could I would vote for Bush again, just to spite them.

Why is there such a large portion of uncommitted in the Dem side? I understand not showing up, but over 10000 people feel they'll never vote for the named candidates regardless of what happens. (not including those egged on to vote Romney instead as per the Daily Kos).

The DNC is probably going to give back your delegates at the convention. So you aren't disenfranchised yet Michigan still doesn't matter at all

Where's Obama on these polls?

Not that it matters, of course. :D

CNN projects that Mitt Romney wins Michigan


edit: I was beaten :D


I don't like McCain at all.

That does not mean I am for Romney by any stretch, however I don't want McCain steamrolling his way through to the nom.

damn, I really do NOT like McCain's arrogance in his speech.

All of his "my friends", "my friends", "my friends", and "I will be commander in chief".

ugh.

I didn't like him in the past, I like him even less now.

I hope McCain loses in SC to either Fred or Mike, or even Romney.

McCain should've recycled last week's 'victory' speech for Michigan. the somber, borderline depressing tone of that speech would work better now.
