CNN and Fox are projecting Romney wins Michigan. On to Nevada and South Carolina.
Romney will beat Huckabee by more than double. I think Huckabee is facing a do or die in South Carolina. He has shown no ability to compete outside of Iowa. If Huckabee comes in second in South Carolina, that will be a problem for him, because that is his natural base, to the extent he really has one.
Romney is also on pace to trounce McCain soundly as well. This is a huge defeat for McCain. They can try and play down Mitt's win in Michigan, but the fact is McCain won Michigan big back in 2000 against Bush. McCain couldn't attract the independants and democrats to support him like he did before. In short, he is losing his appeal.
Finally, Giuliani may end in single digits tonight. That is really bad for him. I am not sure he can fend off the onslaught of candidates into Florida after Saturday. Romney will likely be winning the delegate count soundy, clearly winning the popular vote, and have one of his signature issues to campaign on, health care.
