Romney Leading in Michigan

Mitt Romney appears to be polling well in Michigan, holding a lead in Tuesday's primary against McCain and Huckabee. As Politico points out, however, the more interesting thing is what conservatives already knew:

“McCain owes his solid standing to independents and Democrats, taking 38 percent of their support, while Huckabee had 22 percent and Romney had 18 percent. ... Evangelical Christians represented 46 percent of the likely primary vote in the poll, and Huckabee got 31 percent of their support while Romney got 23 percent.”

So McCain would make a great Independent candidate and Huckabee would do well if only evangelicals voted.
