If the exit polls are right and 10% of MI voters are Dems, is this a fair way to pick a candidate for the republican party?

Then have closed primaries. I support them but to think that candidates won't court Dems when they're able to vote is ridiculous.

It appears Rick Santorum is the first Republican presidential candidate to ever robocall Democrats asking for their support in a GOP primary. Do you consider this a blemish or a positive for his record? It is certainly not a footnote...

Maybe Santorum has that Reagan Democrat appeal that Romney utterly lacks (and will cost him Ohio/Michigan in the general).

Who do you think you're kidding? This site is for political junkies, not laymen. We've all seen the reports and Michael Moore's comments...

Rude and unnecessary

It was not intended to be. Obviously he is every bit as much of a political junkie as the rest of us. Let's not pretend that we are trying to convince laymen of something that is just not so. There are no laymen on here. We all know what Democrats were up to in Michigan. Michael Moore and others let that cat out of the bag...

Obviously you're in denial that Santorum is a better GE candidate than Willard "the trees are the right height" Romney.

Well, good news for Santorum is that many of the remaining counties should break for him and Kent county is still at 5%. Will be close.

Objectively, does Rick have a shot?

Unlikely, but Romney's margin in Wayne has been shrinking. There is a slim possibility that the more Romney-friendly precincts came in first. Most of the remaining counties that have not reported will probably break for Santorum, but it's unlikely they'll tip the scales.

Obama has 88% right now. Will probably end up higher, once the more urban areas are all in.

An 88% swing.

You sure can kick out the Indies. Romney pissing and moaning about Democrats is rich. He wins counties the more liberal they are - the more likely they vote for Romney.

I didn't say you couldn't kick out the Indies. I said you can't kick out moderates registered as Republicans.

Very funny Yankee. We all know that moderate Republicans are a myth outside of the Northeast.
