Michigan is extremely interesting when it comes to the Republican primary. This is because anyone can vote, including independents and Democrats, giving is a clearer picture of which Republican would fare the best in a general election. It will be interesting to see who wins out: McCain or Romney? No other Republican candidates are realistically in the picture. McCain, who won Michigan over George W. Bush in 2000, has been endorsed by both the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News. However, Romney’s lineage includes a Michigan governor, which is something he is leaning on.

What about the Democrats? Neither Edwards nor Obama are even on the ballot in the Democratic primary. The state has been stripped of most of its Democratic delegates as punishment for moving its primary so early, as many states did for this election. As a result, Edwards and Obama are focusing their efforts in states with more political power.
