Wide Open Race - Kent Ninomiya


Kent Ninomiya - Never mind those bickering Democrats. The Republican race for president is getting more interesting by the day. Mitt Romney wins the Michigan primary making him the third Republican winner in four early races. Romney also won Wyoming even though no one noticed. John McCain won New Hampshire and Mike Huckabee won Iowa. Romney suggests his Michigan victory is a mandate for him to lead the nation. The other candidates take issue with that. After all, Michigan is Romney's home state and he campaigned harder than anyone there. A loss there would have all but ended his run. The truth is there is no Republican front runner and they all know it. South Carolina should thin the field a bit if there's a clear winner. If there's not we could be in for a state by state dog fight through Super Tuesday. With a similar dynamic on the Democratic side this is a fun time to be a journalist. Clear front runners and slam dunk primaries are bad for business. Kent Ninomiya
