Pollspot: Michigan State

Here's a Michigan poll courtesy of Political Wire:

Michigan:

According to a new EPIC-MRA poll, Sen. Hillary Clinton leads the Democrats in Michigan with 40%, followed by Sen. Barack Obama at 21% and John Edwards at 16% percent.

On the Republican side, former Gov. Mitt Romney leads with 25%, edging out former Mayor Rudy Giuliani with 23%. Former Sen. Fred Thompson is in third with 16% and Sen. John McCain trails with 15%.

It's a little surprising to me that Mitt Romney is polling slightly better than Rudy Giuliani.

Because it's just too damn funny...

I'm not a big fan of Nancy Grace so I thought this was pretty hilarious!
