WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are sharpening their jabs for a debate showdown tomorrow, their last face-to-face confrontation before the increasingly tight GOP presidential primaries in Arizona and Michigan next Tuesday. Debates have marked a turning point at several junctures in the topsy-turvy 2012 Republican race, and the debate will be Romney’s best chance to blunt Santorum’s rapid rise. For Santorum, it’s a golden opportunity to solidify his standing as the leading conservative candidate in the race and build on momentum carrying his campaign forward since wins Feb. 7 in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri. The CNN-sponsored debate in Arizona also will be the last time all four GOP presidential candidates — including Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul — share a stage before the crucial Super Tuesday showdown on March 6. Santorum is gaining on Romney in Arizona (36-33 percent), but Romney is catching Santorum in Michigan (37-33 percent), separate surveys by Public Policy Polling showed. Romney was originally expected to win both states easily.
