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%.

I guess some liberals must’ve taken FreeRepublic down so as to hog tie us during today’s election. Wouldn’t surprise me if this was done straight from the White House basement.

The main difference between McCain and Romney is that 0bama wasn’t afraid of McCain.

Don’t blame this house in Arizona. We all voted for Santorum, even knowing he would lose to Romney. We have to live with ourselves, you know.

The "Early Voting" was stuffed for Romney-the-RINO, but Santorum is winning the REAL vote. The Establishment Elite even took Free Republic down, to avoid the embarassment of the comments against "The Chosen One", and to assure a Romney-the-RINO win.
The Elite's biggest fear is a Brokered Convention, where Palin would win the Second Ballot, as they've not been able to attack her as they did the others along the Campaign Trail in the "staged" so-called Debates.
They took out Cain, Perry, and nearly Gingrich, to try to prop up the RINO they CHOSE.

Low voter turnoutI read that they had to try to keep the poll workers awake due to low turnout.
