I would imagine that Cain appeals to a lot of conservatives who don't want Romney as the nominee. Romney will likely win the Michigan primary, like he did in 2008, mainly because of his father's history as Michigan's governor in the 1960s.

I'd be interested in who Upton endorses. My sister says about Upton: "I'll never vote for him because he's a conservative, but I like him as a person".

eh...not a huge fan of Upton...he did get a TEA party challenge and keeps this area as a GOP seat, I'd guess he'll endorse Romney

Upton's family has a strong history in the area. My niece attends a middle school named for one of them. They founded the company that eventually became Whirlpool. So many scholarship funds and charitable programs bear the Upton name, which is probably why he kept his seat despite the Tea Party challenge.

Maine seems to be a bit stingy with the political contributions. Ron Paul got a bit from there, though.

They're holding out for a return of the Bull Moose Party.
