FEBRUARY 15, 2012 Romney Races to Defend Michigan State Up for Grabs as Santorum Surges
BY JOSEPH B. WHITE AND NEIL KING JR.
[Subscriber Content Preview] DETROITAmid signs Rick Santorum could win an upset victory in Michigan, Mitt Romney escalated his campaign to win the state's Republican primary by taking on the powerful auto union and reigniting the debate over the federal bailouts of two Detroit auto makers.
Mr. Romney, writing in a Detroit News editorial-page column Tuesday, attacked as "crony capitalism on a grand scale" the Obama administration's $81 billion auto-industry bailout nearly three years ago.
The salvo comes as Mr. Santorum is surging in polls nationally as well as in Michigan. A Santorum win in Michigan's Feb. 28 primary, a week before the March ...

Time for the media to go into overdrive and crank out hit pieces on Santorum.

Why would Gingrich endorse Santorum, Gingrich is still in the race.

I see absolutely no harm in Newt telling his supporters to back Rick In Migh— as long as Rick will tell his supporters to back Newt in Arizona.

Why would Newt endorse Santorum?
Santorum needs Newt in the race and Newt needs Santorum.
If one of them drops out, it just makes it easier for Mitt with his dirty campaign tactics to take the remaining POTUS candidate out of the race.
Futhermore, Newt will naturally run strong in some states that Santorum won’t and vice versa.
They both need to stay in the race to keep Mitt from sewing up the nomination.

Do your duty. Destroy their reputations. FOR ME."

Gingrich will have the delegate lead soon after Super Tuesday. Why on earth would he drop out and endorse the guy with roughly three committed delegates?
Absurd.
Plus, Santorum voters ensured us that we MIST have two Conservative in the race in case one of them collapses, otherwise “we might have no option left.”
Follow Santorum backers’ advice, Newt! You MUST stay in for the good of us all!!

Good luck with that.
If Santorum voter were here telling us they wouldn’t budge if it was Newt 27.04%, Mitt 27.04% and Rick 9.50% a couple of weeks ago, I doubt you’re going to get any strategic cooperation now.
Rick is the holiest guy in the race, you see............

That really isn't the point, now is it?
Stopping Mitt is what is important.
As long as both are in the race, Mitt has to focus on both, he has no choice. He has to divide his resources and his attention.
To: Steelfish
The ONLY candidate who has negatives beyond repair
is the Saboteur Democrat Romney.

Newts negatives are beyond repair.
Furthermore, I think a lot of people lot his negatives were beyond repair before, and then he blew the doors off of Mitt's campaign in South Carolina.
This election has already proved multiple times over that things change quickly.
Both candidates need to stay in the race until the convention to ensure that Mitt chances of gaining the nomination are put to rest.

They both need to stay in the race to keep Mitt from sewing up the nomination.I'm afraid just the opposite is true. If both stay in and semi-equal, the notMitt vote is split and Mitt wins.
I can go for either Rick or Newt, I'm hoping one or the other drops out soon enough to stop Romney.

Yeah, frankly Newt’s endorsement isn’t going to mean much if he were to give it...
