Mitt Romney won the Arizona primary and was clinging to a small but persistent lead over Rick Santorum in Michigan Tuesday with about half of precincts reporting.

The former Massachusetts governor had been widely expected to win Arizona. Michigan was the fiercer battleground, and Mr. Santorum hoped a victory there would help him offset Mr. Romney's advantages in money, organization and experience.

But Mr. Romney held a lead of several percentage points in his native state, where his father was governor. If the narrow margin held up, it would give Mr. Romney momentum but might not dispel doubts about his ability to unify the party.

With 50% of Michigan's precincts reporting, Mr. Romney had 40% of the vote to Mr. Santorum's 36.2%. Texas Rep. Ron Paul had 11.5%, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had 6.6%.

Yes, sir. No need for early voting in primaries. There isn’t enough voters to even need it.

The Establishment Elite even took Free Republic down

OH COME ON with all that. Unless JohnRob tells me otherwise, that's bunkum.

Romney knew from the start that his victory depended on divided conservative opposition, and he was right.

Future god of his own planet, Willard the Lib was handed 91% of the Mormon cult vote — who make up 14% of the AZ vote.

I beg your pardon. Wow you’re rather testy, aren’t you?

Hey, Michigan isn’t a paradise either, some from here are busy picking Romney, too. Shoot, he thinks we’re one of his home states.

I meant McCain is FROM Arizona, not that everyone voted for him.

Not all of us. I voted for Rick as the anti Willard vote who lost to McCain in 08, who lost to bamster. This is sickening...08 all over again.

More likely the strike came from the Romney attack dogs.

Normally I'd agree that theory is way out there but the Free Dominion (Canadian counterparts) was also down all day. Makes one wonder.

Looks like Mitt and Rick will split the Mi delegates.
Paul and Newt get none, and Mitt gets all of the Az delegates.

Not a good night.
