		<description>&quot;I&#039;m a Michigan independent supporting John Edwards, but since the Dem ballot here is FUBAR, I crossed over for Romney.&quot;

I can guarantee you are not the only one.

And with a 9 point win, it will be enough to give him a boost in the upcoming states and the national polls.

Romney would be a huge win for the Democrats. It doesn&#039;t matter if he goes against Clinton, Obama, or Edwards, the south would turn a nice shade of purple and no Republican, not even Romney, could afford to fight in six or seven extra states.

		<description>I&#039;m a Michigan independent supporting John Edwards, but since the Dem ballot here is FUBAR, I crossed over for Romney.

The exit pollers missed me which is probably good because I would have just cursed a lot about that pantload Mark Brewer (chairs MI Dems) and Disenfranchiser Granholm.

Keep up the great work Oliver.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;And in related news president Bush is down to 32% approval, and 66% disapproval.&lt;/i&gt;

Don&#039;t know if only 2% undecided is typical of these types of polls, but my impression is it isn&#039;t, that adding the approval and disapproval numbers together usually gets you somewhere around 90.

Nice to see Bush is still doing well at polarizing the country with very little middle ground.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Republicans are essentially holding a solo primary in Michigan, and without Democratic involvement... turnout is down.&lt;/i&gt;

Decreased enthusiasm may be part of it, but weather is another. It&#039;s snowing through much of the state, and northern MI (as late as this morning, at least) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.petoskeynews.com/articles/2008/01/15/news/doc478cd1c9931ab472877120.txt&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;has been a mess&lt;/a&gt;.
