Latest Michigan Poll: Romney Has Slight Lead

We are getting more polling among Michigan voters finally, and it looks like Romney vs. McCain for the top spot. Most polls show the two within a point of each other, although the latest poll released shows Romney up 30% to 22%, and another poll released today has Romney at 27% and McCain at 22%. That's good news but just means we need that extra effort to bring it through.

Also I've enjoyed several stories about Romney's return to his roots in Michigan. Not only was he born in Michigan but his wife, Ann, was as well. His father of course was governor of Michigan in the 1960s, and the state office building is named after him. Mitt lived in the state until he left on his LDS mission then returned to go to college. I just ran across a story about him running into his 1st grade teacher today.

Now, if Michigan can deliver this big win to Romney--which admittedly will take the full efforts of Romney-backers in the state--it could make the biggest statement yet in the Republican primaries, and provide serious momentum. Tuesday is the big day!
