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...

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.
