I've communicated with a Quad Cities teammate who is in Michigan this week. The mood on the ground is quite upbeat in the Romney camp. The sense is that McCain is coming into Michigan a bit like Obama came into New Hampshire -- riding a bit of a wave and poll bounce, but perhaps coasting too much on that fact alone. Governor Romney is working very hard, and speaking to an issue where he carries credibility and strikes a chord locally -- the economy.
The wild card is that Democrats don't really have anything to vote for on Tuesday since only Senator Clinton is on the ballot, and the DNC has said the delegates will not count. If some Michigan Democrats vote in the GOP primary in an attempt to join the process, it would seem Governor Huckabee and Senator McCain would be the most likely beneficiaries.

I heard yesterday there is a Democratic movement to get the crossover votes for Romney. The thought was give Romney a win in Michigan so that the Republican race stays muddled and they have to keep spending primary money. You may get your win after all.
please forgive my ignorance, but why is Obama not on the ticket in Michigan?
