It's starting to look like the lack of a contested primary on the Democratic side may turn out to be a huge boon for John McCain in Michigan. Wisely or not, Mitt Romney has staked everything on a comeback in his home state. And polls over the weekend have scattered between ones with him and McCain holding the lead.

But the Zogby poll out this morning shows that while Romney is beating McCain 30%-20% among Republicans, he's getting swamped by independents and Democrats who plan to vote in the GOP primary, yielding McCain a slim 27% to 24% lead overall.

With Giuliani in political oblivion and Thompson ready for a nap, the GOP race could go a decent way toward being over tomorrow night.
