New polls show Hillary Clinton holds a strong lead over her Democratic rivals in Michigan, but the picture on the Republican side isn't as clear.
Forty percent of likely Democratic presidential primary voters polled by Lansing-based EPIC-M-R-A say they'd pick Clinton, while 21 percent backed Barack Obama and 16 percent favored John Edwards.
Thirteen percent say they're undecided.
Among likely Republican presidential primary voters, Mitt Romney was the favorite of 25 percent, while 23 percent picked Rudolph Giuliani.
Fred Thompson, who plans to officially launch his campaign next Thursday, was backed by 16 percent, while 15 percent said they'd choose John McCain. Fifteen percent say they're undecided.

The beast has bought and paid for every county committee she needs. opie and the african don’t have a chance. Having the beast will, as elizabeth opie has said, bring out the hillary haters. It certainly will. Wait for sept 7.

The Republicans are just wasting time and $ right now.
They shouldn’t even be IN the game.
They should have waited until April or May ‘08. Even Fred is jumping in about six months too early. IMHO.
Sucks doesn't it...
