News Desk - January 15, 2008
As the packed primary season continues, voters head to the polls today in Michigan, where they will battle the cold and snow to pick a GOP nominee for the White House. New Hampshire winner John McCain and Mitt Romney, whose father was once governor of Michigan, seem to be competing for first, with Iowa winner Mike Huckabee trailing behind. Michigan's Democrats aren't as interested in today's results because Michigan broke national party rules by moving up its primary date and lost all its Democratic national convention delegates and half of its Republican ones. The only Democratic front-runner now appearing on the ballot is Hillary Clinton.
