Romney wins Michigan!!!

Mitt Romney wins his firstt big primary in the state where he grew up and his father was governor.




Hillary Clinton won the Democratic primary in Michigan, but many candidates including Barack Obama and John Edwards did not put their names on the ballot because the state moved up the date of its primary.

However, there was a democratic debate last evening in Las Vegas, with the Nevada and South Carolina primaries looming.
