You can post a ‘Link only’. You just can’t post any text.

Michigan's delegate allocation process is described here: two for the statewide winner, two for the winner of each of the state's 14 congressional districts.

Accordingly, a 15-15 split is not possible. Santorum could actually pocket 16 or 18 delegates since he won 64% of Michigan's counties. It would depend on the geography of the congressional districts.

A tie is not a victory when it’s your home state and your the establishment favorite.

According to your link, and using the prelim results, Santorum won 7 CDs, Romney 7 CDs, Santorum wins 14 EVs, and Romney wins 16 EVs.

Apparently Romney plays well with apolitical morons in the suburbs. It’s the only reason he keeps winning close primaries.

According to the link in post #3,
they split the congressional districts 7-7 (that’s 14 delegates for each candidate)

and because the popular vote was so close, the two statewide delegates were going to be split (one for each)

15-15

Unfortunately, apolitical morons in the suburbs decide most swing state elections and, by extension, most national elections.

That's marginally better than ultrapartisan government teat suckers in central cities deciding all elections.

I don't know about anyone else but the Michigan GOP logo irritates me because it looks so much like the Obama logo.

Who are the 524 clueless, deluded Michiganders who actually wasted their vote on Gary Johnson?

Looking at the chart you posted, and the awarding of delegates rules post in post #4, it appears to me that Romney will get 16 delegates and Santorum will get 14 delegates.

Mitt should be proud, he took the democrat stronghold.
