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...

Foon Rhee / Boston Globe:
Exit poll favors Romney's prospects  —  Early exit polling from Michigan appears to bode well for Mitt Romney and ill for John McCain.  —  McCain won the Republican primary in 2000, thanks largely to support from independents and Democrats who crossed over.

Total  —  104,696  —  104,006  —  67,601  —  24,484  —  18,788  —  Total Delegates:  —  That's what Geraghty the Indispensable is hearing.  —  Cue the fat lady for Huck and McCain.  The former can't get above 15% with a huge effort, and McCain can't win in an open primary state …

Across Michigan, light turnout and some upset voters  —  Around metro Detroit and across the state, turnout has been so low for the presidential primary that some clerks predict the majority of votes will come from absentee ballots.  —  Clerks say snowy weather and a non-race on the Democratic side have kept numbers down.

Riegle: Clinton's actions manipulated the ballot  —  The Michigan Democratic ballot is a sham that was rigged by Hillary Rodham Clinton, her husband and her supporters to give the nation the impression that she's the leading candidate in Michigan, an angry former Sen. Don Riegle said Monday.

HUCK, THE CONSTITUTION AND 'GOD'S STANDARDS'  —  From NBC/NJ's Adam Aigner-Treworgy  —  WARREN, Mich. — Huckabee's closing argument to voters here this evening featured a few new stories and two prolonged sections on illegal immigration and Christian values.

Banned at The DoJ  —  We here at TPM get hundreds of emails each day, ranging from reader emails to press releases.  And it took me a while to notice that on October 10th of last year, the Justice Department stopped sending us their releases.  We had been on their list for well more than a year.

Pelosi pushes gourmet menu  —  The processed cheese has been replaced with brie.  The Jell-O has made way for raspberry kiwi tarts and mini-lemon blueberry trifles.  Meatloaf has moved over for mahi mahi and buns have been shunted aside in favor of baguettes.
Redstate:
Wow.  —  I'm on the radio this morning.  For the last thirty minutes, I've been talking about the Clinton v. Obama race war.  This isn't a new topic, but something very interesting happened.  —  Mayor C. Jack Ellis, the recently term limited out of office Mayor of Macon, GA, called in the show.

Allahpundit / Hot Air:
Finally: Fred hits McCain; Update: Fred hits McCain again  —  Not with an uppercut but a good straight jab.  It would have been more effective if he'd gone after him individually instead of lumping him in with Huck but the race being what it is in South Carolina, he doesn't have much choice.
