John Fund explains how Michigan got its mojo back and what impact the Wolverine State may have on the '08 race.

Right now, Giuliani leads in the RCP Average for Michigan by 3.4%.

Meanwhile, Crain's Detroit released numbers from an unscientific survey of its subscribers:

Among 300 randomly chosen Crain's subscribers, Michigan native Romney enjoyed 36 percent support among those who were likely to back a Republican before the general election. That edges out Giuliani's 32 percent, and no other GOP candidate pulled more than 7 percent.

Among those eyeing a Democrat, Clinton had 51 percent share of the support, followed distantly by Sen. Barack Obama and John Edwards with 19 percent apiece.

Forty-four percent of those surveyed said they were leaning Republican, while 28 percent leaned Democratic. The rest were undecided.

"I'm a little surprised that in that group you don't see even more of a lead for Romney," said Bill Ballenger, editor of Inside Michigan Politics. "He's a businessman like they are, and people in that community remember his father."

Among this group of respondents, Giuliani beat Clinton by a 58 to 30 margin in a general election match up.

Finally, here's a bit of Michigan primary trivia for you:

The Wolverine State held its first presidential primary in 1916, which was won on the Republican side by Henry Ford. Eight years later Ford again won the Michigan presidential primary - this time as a Democrat. The legislature repealed the law for its primary in 1931 and went four decades before reinstituting it in 1972.
