This is good news for Romney. McCain needs the independents and Dems to crossover to win. Those type of votes are less reliable and be more likely to stay home due to poor weather.
By extension, this is good news for Fred Thompson as well. It stops McCain’s mo, and lays the table for an upset in SC.
Not necessarily. Romney’s base of support in Michigan is metro Detroit.
Probably numerous people who wanted to vote before going to work, decided to go straight to work, instead.
The polls may be busier, this afternoon and evening.
Seniors may be slowed a bit, though (bad for Romney) but even then, the more committed seniors (favoring Romney and Huckabee more) should make it out.
Huckabee may just have a chance to gain some western Michigan delegates, too.
