See the poll I linked to, has Romney in #1 spot in MI.
That’s an interesting poll. We’ll see in a few weeks if it’s a statistical blip or the initiation of a new trend.
Regardless of whether or not he currently is, I do think that Romney will end up first in Michigan before much longer. His momentum is strong in that state, and his father’s popular governorship there gives him a substantial leg up. It’s mostly just a matter of getting his name out there.
An interesting difference in Michigan, as compared to other states, is that, when McCain tanked in most states, much of that support went to either Romney or Thompson. Giuliani continued to decline. In Michigan, Guiliani has picked up some of McCain’s support, keeping him dominant in that state. In this way, Michigan has been very similar to California.
