WASHINGTON (CNN) - With last night’s South Carolina face-off behind them, Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney are once again fighting over an early-voting Midwestern state.

This time, it’s Michigan, where both men are spending the day – and where post-New Hampshire surveys have found the GOP primary has turned into a three-way race, between Romney, Huckabee, and John McCain.

Thanks to overwhelming evangelical support, Huckabee’s bare-bones campaign trumped Romney’s cash-rich effort in Iowa. Romney’s vowed to make his next stand in Michigan, and has poured millions into the state.

But pro-Huckabee organizer Gary Glenn says he has a “top-tier” email list of 600 activists working on the former Arkansas governor’s behalf in the state, and putting their rolodexes to work for him, too. Is the lowly address book mightier than the major ad buy? The answer comes in less than a week.
