True to a primary season already marked by sudden and surprising ups and downs, Mitt Romney has jumped back into the lead in Michigan’s Republican Primary race. The vote’s on Tuesday.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Republican Primary Voters in Michigan shows Romney with 40% of the vote and former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum with 34%. The poll was conducted on Thursday night, following the last scheduled debate among the GOP candidates. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

I see you are a proud Navy vet. Thank you for your service. Not surprising that you support Newt. So many of our military are supporting him. Those who pur their lives on the line, instinctively recognize a leader.
I was hoping Santorum would win Michigan as it would help Newt and hurt Romney. Still believe Newt will get a boost in the polls after super tuesday and even beyond. The more that comes out on Mitt and Santorum and the more focused on Obama that Newt remains..the MORE people will rally and unite behing "The Speaker"

I’m not convinced that he’s “already lost”. Imho, he will spend every dime he has to achieve the presidency. He’s that obsessed.
Gee whiz! I was hoping Rickster would slow Romney in MI.
I think Rick will wake up smelling Newt’s roses, now that he is actually on the receiving end of the Romney carpet bomb.
I believe Newt will rise again, and hope Romney goes broke.
Did he inject himself again? Thought he was down to 7.8 million a few days ago. His expenditures must be the only thing left supporting the economy!
Do you have info on Romney’s cash on hand that is even more recent?
Thanks for all you do.
Heck, that was taken from the same Rasmussen Poll in the thread. Go read it in its entirety.
I’m voting for NEWT GINGRICH too.
I am convinced he needs to be our next POTUS and even more importantly our next Commander-in-Chief.
I am thrilled Colonel Oliver North is backing him too, for CIC.
When you have the E-Pubs willing to lie cheat and steal, it does offer up some advantage. Even Faux news has been in the tank for him from the beginning.
Romney wins in Iowa, yea, except he didn't
Romney wins in Maine, yea, except he didn't
But you would not know that by watching the lap dogs on Faux news. Clearly the E-Pubs have pulled out all stops for this one.
Here on FreeRepublic we continue slinging mud at all the candidates, doing the dirty work for the opposition, when there is no reason to. I will vote for Newt or I will vote for Santorum, but I will to vote for Romney or Paul.
Look. I don’t have the time right now to decipher your newbie libspeak that started in your anti-Santorum/anti-religious nonesense from post 56.
But I do find it amusing that you start quoting the Bible as you attack our Christian viewpoints.
IBTZ.
Newt said it would be a “serious blow” to any of the candidates to lose their home states. He didn’t say anyone should pull out.
Newt is the only true statesman in the race. That hardly makes him “superfluous”. He mentored and helped Santorum when Santorum was a young Congressman. To say that Newt has done more for this nation than the other two candidates put together would be an understatement.
any man that is proud of tossing hard earned taxpayers money to the winds is a disgrace
“But I do find it amusing that you start quoting the Bible as you attack our Christian viewpoints.”
I didn’t attack your “Christian viewpoints,” and you cannot demonstrate how I did. It becomes even more absurd when you realize that my guy, Newt, is also Catholic and has all the same pro-life sentiments and positions. This is the blindness of the typical Santorumbot that I keep seeing over and over again, and it is quite disturbing.
I am convinced he needs to be our next POTUS and even more importantly our next Commander-in-Chief.
I am thrilled Colonel Oliver North is backing him too, for CIC.
*********************************
Agreed. I also love that Colonel North is backing him. That is a huge plus, imho.
Great post, Apollo. It is one thing when someone compliments another person on their courage, but when someone touts himself as “Courageous” as Rick did in the debate, it really puts a spotlight on the that person in a very unflattering way. One thing no one will ever accuse Rick of is modesty or humility.
“Tell us. Just what do you find so offensive about our moral and religous thoughts?”
To be honest with you, it’s that it isn’t real. It’s like Socrates. You don’t know that you don’t know. You don’t know that all the religious and social issues are only being used to promote a perception of character and cover up a lack of substance. It’s being used to demonstrate how Holy and Principled he is, even though his platform doesn’t support it. It’s a part of his constant hypocrisy, pretending to be “above it all” while being right there stuck in it, and bashing the other candidates on a personal level, and refusing to acknowledge any good ideas.
I'm not pro-Santorum, either. I'm pro-Newt, and that has little to do with his religion, except that it seems that he has changed. He is aware of the wrong decisions he has made in the past, and is trying to live in accordance with God's laws.
Wrong SantoBot. Those are mostly Rass’s links to old polls and article embedded in the same web page, and not the article itself. And they do not reflect what is happening now.
marklevinshow.com. Newt will be on Mark’s show @ 7:30.
