Romney wins in Michigan
Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, has won the Republican primary in Michigan.
His win over John McCain not only gave his campaign for the US presidential nomination a big boost after runner-up finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire, it further threw open a Republican presidential race with no clear frontrunner.
Three different men have now won the first three significant Republicans contests: McCain in New Hampshire last week and Mike Hukabee, the former Arkansas governor, in Iowa on January 3.
Hukabee, who placed third in New Hampshire, came in third again on Tuesday.
the Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton won but a dispute over the date of the vote led the national party to strip the state of its delegates to the nominating convention later this year, in effect rendering Tuesday's vote of no consequence.
Instead, Clinton and rivals Barack Obama and John Edwards were set to square off in an evening debate in Nevada, where the party's next contest is on Saturday
It's not really a surprise that Romney won he was bound to win it since his dad was governor of Michigan.
