Michigan was turned into a battleground by Reagan wins in Texas and Indiana, where political analysts believed Democrats who supported George Wallace in past years crossed over to vote for Reagan on the GOP ballot. It also would leave the President with precious few opportunities to regain the initiative as the primary parade moves into the mountain and Pacific Coast states where Reagan is believed to be strong.
