The Political Road Ahead

So, Michigan has spoken — to Republicans at least — and the word is Romney.

Mitt Romney needed it bad. And he got it. Michiganders went for the man who promised their jobs back, and not John McCain, who said some were gone for good.

But this Republican race is still a free-for-all. Next stop South Carolina, where just about anything could happen.

And the Democrats? In Vegas last night, playing for high stakes in Nevada, where Latino voters get their first big say on Saturday.

This hour, On Point: on from Michigan, with all the chips on the table.Guests:
