Today is primary day in Michigan, when voters mark their ballots with their choice for who should run for president of the United States in November. Republican hopefuls Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum headed into Tuesday's primary race neck and neck, trailed by several other candidates on the GOP ticket. President Barack Obama is the sole candidate on the Democrats' ballot. The Dems will caucus for their candidate May 5. There are some local issues on the ballots, too, such as a school bond proposal in Ferndale and a millage request in Clawson. We want to know how you voted and why and what's going on at the polls, campaign headquarters and at results-watching parties. Give us your thoughts, talk amongst yourselves, share some photos in …

A panel of national political journalists discussed Michigan's presidential primary and the fate of the Republican Party at the Adcraft Club of Detroit's annual meeting Monday.
Mitt Romney will take Michigan in Tuesday's Republican presidential primary, according to a panel of political insiders who gathered Monday afternoon at the Townsend Hotel in Birmingham. However, whatever happens in the 2012 presidential election is still up in the air, as is the fate of the modern Republican Party, they said. That was the sentiment at the Adcraft Club of Detroit's annual meeting Monday, which hosted the panel of columnists, writers and bloggers just one day shy of Michigan's presidential primary. The mood was generally lighthearted Monday as more than 100 members of the group of the region's marketing and advertising executives attended the luncheon meeting. On the panel were: Tina Brown, editor-in-chief of Newsweek and …

Gov. Snyder and a 'special musical guest' will join the Republican candidate at the Royal Oak Music Theatre the night before the presidential primary.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has been hitting Michigan hard the few days before Tuesday's presidential primary and now plans to make a stop in Royal Oak on Monday evening. Gov. Rick Syder and a "special musical guest from Detroit" are scheduled to join Romney and his “Earn It” bus tour to the Royal Oak Music Theatre from 6:15-7:30 p.m. The Michigan native and former Massachusetts governor starts the day with an 8:45 a.m. rally in Rockford and then in Albion at 1 p.m. for a rally. Romney and fellow GOP hopeful Rick Santorum appeared at a conservative rally Saturday in Troy. Santorum is scheduled to attend the Livonia/Farmington Area Chamber of Commerce Breakfast this morning in Livonia before taking his campaign bus to …

Obama spots add to TV blitz; Troy primary night party set; candidate's Brighton tale stars 'frugal dad.'
Patch presents a Michigan presidential campaign roundup. Mitt Romney earns a point for openness, but risks losing it for over-sharing. "I like the fact that most of the cars I see (locally) are Detroit-made automobiles," he told Detroit Economic Club members on Friday. "I drive a Mustang and a Chevy pickup truck. Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs, actually." He was referring to his wife's 2007 and 2010 SRX models at their Massachusetts and California homes, aides explained. (Speech excerpt video embedded at right.) The off-script remark created a bull's-eye too inviting to ignore. "That's rich, literally," ex-Detroiter Charles Blow writes in his New York Times column. That was one poke among plenty, a headline sampling shows: Slate blogger …

Romney gets lackluster endorsement from Free Press while Detroit News calls foul on editing of editorial by Romney staff; Paul reaches out with commercials and college campus visits.
Patch presents Michigan presidential campaign roundups before the Republican primary Tuesday. GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has won the endorsement of the Detroit Free Press, but it's a reluctant one. The headline: "Mitt Romney is best – but we urge him to recapture collaborative spirit." After citing all the things about Romney it doesn't like, the Free Press says: "Romney, unlike the zealous Rick Santorum, the impulsive Newt Gingrich and the backward-thinking Ron Paul, is preferable to the rest of the field." A trio of statewide surveys gives cliché-cherishing writers a chance to reuse "razor-thin," "down to the wire" or "dead heat." We'll go with tight: "Michigan is neck-and-neck," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist …

Leading Republican primary candidates are spending big money ahead of state primary Tuesday.
Patch presents Michigan presidential campaign roundups before the Republican primary Feb. 28. A new NBC News/Marist poll shows Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum locked in a statistical tie. In Michigan – which has turned into a make-or-break contest for Romney – the former Massachusetts governor gets the support of 37 percent of likely GOP primary voters, including those who are leaning toward a particular candidate, the poll shows. Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, has 35 percent support, followed by Texas Rep. Ron Paul at 13 percent and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich at 8 percent. “Michigan is neck and neck,” said pollster Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion…
