Update [2008-1-15 21:3:46 by BooMan]: NBC calls Michigan for Romney.
This is from National Review Online, so all caveats apply.
And The First Exit Polls in Michigan Say…
I’m surprised no one else has put this up yet. I’m hearing the first round of exit polls have Romney 35, McCain 29, Huckabee 15, Ron Paul 10, Giuliani 4. This doesn’t count absentee ballots.
If this holds, the networks will be able to announce shortly after 9 p.m. eastern time…
Of course, all the standard disclaimers apply, and the later voters may differ from the early rounds, and the polls are still open, so if you’re a Michigander, go out and vote for your favorite.
I’ll be quite pleased with such a result.
Update [2008-1-15 20:39:15 by BooMan]: The official results will be posted here but it may be quicker to check with CNN for updates as the results roll in.
Update [2008-1-15 20:57:55 by BooMan]: With 7% reporting:
Romney 29,961 38%
McCain 24,656 31%
Huckabee 12,608 16%
lou dobbs is going a-wall on cnn he is arguing with his guest..
With 2% in Giuliani is losing to uncommitted.
NBC calls Michigan for Romney.
That was anticlimactic.
‘uncommitted’ is climbing.
wow, with 83% of the vote in Clinton only has 56%.
If uncommitted can break 40% it will be a victory for uncommitted.
Well, I have to take this with a grain of salt. From CNN Ticker:
Heh heh, those nutty bloggers!!!
Har, har, har goes the mainstream media! Those DFH weren’t any more significant than those knots on ol’ Fred Thompson’s shiny bald head.
The nerve of them to think they could effect a Romney victory. Uh……….wait a minute, but Romney won—BIG.
Oh…nevermind.
80% of precincts reporting:
Clinton 57%
Uncommitted 38%
Kucinich 4%
Other 1%
Interestingly, the only county going for “uncommitted” in numbers greater than Clinton was Washtenaw County, the most liberal county in the state, site of the U of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Kos may claim victory for Romney in Michigan, however the Democratic vote (7%) did not go to Romney, but to McCaine. The disenfranchised Democrats usually throw their support in the ring for John McCaine, backed by Lieberman.
African-Americans voted “uncommitted” instead of Clinton
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
According to the CNN Exit Poll only 37% chose undecided – but maybe the polls are wrong! And undecided got a lot of late minute undecideds!
More young voters choses undecided:
More stats on Undecided from CNN:
And from the Republican side:
I think the Republicans are barking up the wrong tree on illegal immigration in the northern states. It was found not to be a big issue among voters in Iowa either.
I don’t understand this:
Poor McCain – lockstep with Bush and the Bush lovers still went for Romney.
I dunno. Romney is the guy attacking anyone that criticizes Bush.
It looks like 3 out of ever 4 Black voters voted against Hillary and for “Undecided” in the Michigan Caucus. We know that that means – kiss your truce goodbye…
OK, this is hilarious:
