Mitt Romney won the Arizona primary and was clinging to a small but persistent lead over Rick Santorum in Michigan Tuesday with about half of precincts reporting.
The former Massachusetts governor had been widely expected to win Arizona. Michigan was the fiercer battleground, and Mr. Santorum hoped a victory there would help him offset Mr. Romney's advantages in money, organization and experience.
But Mr. Romney held a lead of several percentage points in his native state, where his father was governor. If the narrow margin held up, it would give Mr. Romney momentum but might not dispel doubts about his ability to unify the party.
With 50% of Michigan's precincts reporting, Mr. Romney had 40% of the vote to Mr. Santorum's 36.2%. Texas Rep. Ron Paul had 11.5%, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had 6.6%.

Thank you, fellow country loving patriot.
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
Yes, sir. No need for early voting in primaries. There isn’t enough voters to even need it.
OH COME ON with all that. Unless JohnRob tells me otherwise, that's bunkum.
Romney knew from the start that his victory depended on divided conservative opposition, and he was right.
Future god of his own planet, Willard the Lib was handed 91% of the Mormon cult vote — who make up 14% of the AZ vote.
I beg your pardon. Wow you’re rather testy, aren’t you?
Hey, Michigan isn’t a paradise either, some from here are busy picking Romney, too. Shoot, he thinks we’re one of his home states.
I meant McCain is FROM Arizona, not that everyone voted for him.
Not all of us. I voted for Rick as the anti Willard vote who lost to McCain in 08, who lost to bamster. This is sickening...08 all over again.
More likely the strike came from the Romney attack dogs.
Normally I'd agree that theory is way out there but the Free Dominion (Canadian counterparts) was also down all day. Makes one wonder.

It’s all according to His Plan. :)
That’s all I have at this point, but it’s a lot.
guess Michael Moore didn’t have many Democratic friends there.
Whatever. I’ve decided to slap anybody who blames me for McCain. I’m sick of it.
John Rob, pkease privately let me know. Normal outage or hack? Promise to not reveal answer.
Only republicans and green party could vote in the primary here. There were like 24 names on the ballot here..
LOL I wasn’t blaming YOU for McCain. Are you blaming me for Mitt being born in MI?
Nope,sorry,by voting for Newt you cast a vote helping Romney get one step closer to the White House,,hope your proud when mitt wins.

Looks like Mitt and Rick will split the Mi delegates.
Paul and Newt get none, and Mitt gets all of the Az delegates.
Not a good night.
