It’s All About Michigan

Voters head to the polls today in Michigan’s surprisingly competitive Republican presidential primary.
The primary is open; any registered voter can vote.

First Read: “Tonight will largely decide if Romney limps to the nomination or if all hell breaks loose inside the GOP. There’s no overstating the consequences of a Romney loss tonight: There won’t just be handwringing by the establishment, but there will be financial and staffing consequences, too.”

Meanwhile, a top Republican strategist unaligned with a presidential campaign tells The Note that no matter what happens in Michigan today,
“Romney will have to battle weakness concerns rest of campaign.”

All polls will be closed at 9 pm ET.
