Mitt Romney spoke to the press about his strategy and why he thinks he's going to win Michigan.

"We have more days ahead. We are raising money and I'm in this thing for the long haul. This is the beginning of the season. I think the dynamics of the race are very different than we expected. I expected this to be a race with myself trying to get ahead of the debate front-runner, which was Rudy Giuliani, and that dynamic really doesn't exist anymore, there's really no big front-runner, no inevitable candidate.

"There are a lot of people in a very fluid race and I don't know how long this will go on where it is so fluid as it is but it sure is fluid now. I'm going to keep battling to go state to state. Michigan is important to me. Michigan is a big state. I've got roots here and as much as anything else and more important than my roots here is, in fact, that my life's experience in the economy, in the private sector and even in the manufacturing sector is highly relevent to Michigan and getting Michigan on track again. And so it means a great deal to me to have the support of the people of Michigan and to make sure we end the one-state recession that's been going on here and I will commit to not sleeping, to being tireless in my effort to make sure that Michigan ends the one-state recession its been experiencing, to make sure Michigan is a powerful leader economically in the world once again."

Mitt Romney raised $5 million on Wednesday during his National Call Day. $1.5 million was raised for the primary while $3.5 million was raised for the general election. The campaign estimated the money came from 10,000 donations.

If Romney is not the GOP nominee, the money will be returned to the donors, the campaign says.

"The success of today's events shows a continued belief that I am the only Republican candidate who can match up against the Democrats in the fall," Romney said in a statement. "My campaign is about the future of our country, and I will be ready to go toe-to-toe with the Democrats in the general election."

Appearing in Pontiac, Mich., John McCain said he won the primary in the state in 2000, and is confident he can do it again.

He noted that nobody likes negative ads; people prefer to know what you are for, not what you are against.

In a new suggestion, the New Hampshire primary winner said Michigan would be a good place to develop green technology for cars.

Additionally, McCain's new song before his rallies seems to be "Let's Get it Started" by Black Eyed Peas, played at top volume. It seems to have replaced "Johnny B. Goode" and Journey's "Don't Stop Believing."

Also a big confetti gun at the end of every rally now shoots off bits of red, white and blue paper.

Barack Obama has won the support of the 60,000-member Culinary Workers Union in Nevada, a major coup for the Democrat that could boost his candidacy against Hillary Rodham Clinton in the party's major nominating contest.

Leaders of the Culinary Workers Union, Local 226 was to announce the endorsement at a news conference in Las Vegas Wednesday, the morning after Obama narrowly lost the New Hampshire primary to Clinton, said a Democrat close to the union.

The move gives Obama a major advantage in Nevada, where Clinton has long enjoyed solid support from the Democratic establishment and a hefty lead in the polls. Obama has sought support outside the pool of regular activists.

The culinary union, representing hotel, restaurant and laundry workers in Nevada's casino industry, is the largest and best organized labor group in the state. It has the ability to steer thousands of voters to the state's Jan. 19 caucus and turn an already competitive three-way scramble for supporters into an all-out ground-level frenzy.

Obama also picked up the endorsement of the Nevada chapter of the Service Employees International Union, which voted to endorse him Tuesday.

The Culinary Workers Union's decision is a blow to former Sen. John Edwards, who finished third in New Hampshire and is struggling to prevent a two-person race between Obama and Clinton.

Edwards had attempted to position himself as the labor candidate in a state where nearly two-thirds of Democratic voters are union members, according to exit polls.

Rudy Giuliani to Unveil ‘Largest Tax Cut’ in American History

(12:32 p.m. ET)

Rudy Giuliani is set to unveil a new tax plan Wednesday afternoon that the campaign is touting as the "largest tax cut in the history of America."

The Republican presidential candidate is trying to raise his profile after placing fourth in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday and nearly finishing last in the Iowa caucuses last week. The former New York mayor has lost his lead in recent national polls, and is banking his campaign on its performance in states like Florida, which holds its primary Jan. 29, and the Feb. 5 primary states.

Fittingly, Giuliani plans to deliver his tax plan announcement in Melbourne, Fla.

Details of the plan are still emerging, but the campaign says it will include a $3,500-per-person deduction, and deductions for health care, home mortgage payments, charity contributions, and local and state taxes, as well as a $1,000-per-child tax credit.

Then a 10 percent tax would be assessed on the first $40,000 earned, 15 percent on $40,000 to $150,000 earned and 30 percent on $150,000 earned and above.

It also would include a one-page "fast form" that is supposed to simplify the tax process.

The campaign said Giuliani will be joined by Steve Forbes and released a statement saying: "Considering the Democratic candidates for President haven't been shy about their commitment to raise taxes, the American people can't afford not to have Mayor Giuliani in the White House. Bottom line -- there is no other candidate, Republican or Democrat, for President that has a better record of cutting taxes and has a better plan for putting more money back into the hands of the American people."
