Uh-oh!!!
Santorum Won More Michigan Delegates
The Moderate Voice ^ | February 29th, 2012 | Tony Campbell
According to the MSM, and most people who blindly follow their reports, Mitt Romney won the Michigan primary last night by about 3 points, 41 to 38. However, like the Electoral College, the point of the contest is not to win the popular vote (Gore – 2000) but to win more delegates per state based on the apportionment of those delegates.
Michigan’s primary delegate system allows for a set number of delegates to be won by state wide popular vote and the rest to be evenly distributed by Congressional districts. When you consider the facts of the contest, and the outcome of the voting pattern of the Congressional districts, Rick Santorum won more delegates by a count of 17 to 13 for Romney.
No spin; just the facts.
Now Tony Campbell of The Moderate Voice is claiming Santorum won 17 delegates to only 13 for Romney.

Michigan is a tie delegate count. Delegates are awarded by congressional district with two at large. Both won 7 districts each and Romney didn’t reach the threshold to take both at large delegates.
“I still think many Republicans consider Santorum an anathema and an object of scorn.”
Nope, just the FEW with an agenda.
AND of course, the Rombots who think Romney is a future god of some nutty planet or something. Catholics need not apply.
Let’s all cheer for Sanctomonium!
LOL
Santorum is Milk Toast... that’s just what he is. Its why he lost PA by 17 points and its why he, sadly, will have no chance at a win at the national level.
I’ll vote for the nominee, but I don’t see Santorum having any chance of winning a national election.
Another reason why Santorum may NOT be toast:
“A Smart Politics tabulation of voting through the first 11 Republican primaries and caucuses of the 2012 presidential cycle finds that Rick Santorum has won more than twice as many counties (360) as Mitt Romney (145) and nearly 60 percent of all counties to date.”
“...Newt Gingrich in third with 79 (all but two from South Carolina and Florida), Ron Paul with 31 and Rick Perry with two.”
