Romney and Clinton Win Michigan

Willard 'Mitt' Romney's win in the Michigan republican primary has once again put the GOP race for president in a tailspin.

Romney got 39 percent of the vote, but Arizona senator John McCain was on Romney's ass as he got 30% Michael Huckabee, the ex-Governor from Arkansas came in third, with 16%.

On the Democratic side, New York senator Hillary Clinton won, but she didn't get any delegates, due to the Democratic National Committee's decision to penalize Michigan Democrats for holding their primary before February 5.

Here are the latest standings:

DEMOCRATIC (win-loss, percentage, delegates. Magic number 2,025 delegates)
Clinton 2-1, .666, 190
Obama 1-2, .333, 103
Edwards 0-3 .000, 51
Kucinich 0-3, .000, 1
Gravel 0-3, .000, 0
Out: Richardson, Biden, Dodd

REPUBLICAN (Magic number 1,191)
Romney 2-1, .666, 52
Huckabee 1-2, .333, 22
McCain 1-2, .333, 15
Thompson 0-3. .000, 6
Paul 0-3, .000, 2
Guiliani 0-3, .000, 1
Hunter 0-3, .000, 1

Within 60 days, I expect Hunter, Guiliani, and Paul to drop out of the race of hopefuls. Thompson, probably within 60-90 days.
