Michigan Supreme Court lets presidential primary go forward

LANSING (AP) - The Michigan Supreme Court has decided to let the state's January 15th presidential primary go forward.
The decision keeps alive Michigan's bid to be one of the early presidential contests.
The court decision should make it easier for New Hampshire's secretary of state to schedule that state's primary, which New Hampshire law requires to be the nation's first.
New Hampshire officials have been waiting to see what the Michigan courts would do.
But Democrats also have kept open the possibility of picking their presidential favorites through a party caucus, even if the primary is held.
