Michigan Mulligan Gives Romney Edge, The Ohio Bellwether, Contraception Report, Girl Kills Goldfish (PM Note)
A Mulligan in Michigan - A tie no more. The Credentialing committee voted in favor of another set of rules that hadn't been distributed to campaigns or the press. The new interpretation favors native son Mitt Romney. He gets 16 delegates, and Santorum gets 14. This has the Santorum folks livid. They and ABC News had been working off the advertised rules and projected a tie - http://abcn.ws/wB6d1P
