So Clinton won for the Democrats on a FUBAR ballot (not sure it matters since the Democratic party has stated that they will not seat Michigan's delegates anyhow).
On the Republican side, it was Romney, McCain, Huckabee and Paul. Yes, Paul finished 4th, beating Thompson and Giuliani. What's my take on this?

As we can see from the Republican Exit Poll, his MI roots helped too.
Also, in reviewing the Republican Exit polls, it appears 62% approve of the Iraq war. In hearing this I am reminded of some great wisdom I read on this very website:
