My complaint is that it's long been a two way race in Michigan. Santorum vs Romney. Newt's been campaigning elsewhere. That's just a statement of fact. I'm not going to into Georgia poll threads and attack Newt. I'm not attacked Newt himself. He never planned on contesting Michigan and even said he wasn't going to spend a lot of time here.

My concern is that right now the iron is hot to take out the worst one running in his birth state which knocks down the number one factor in most minds to Romney's support. Romney's running on being 'the electable one.' If he loses one of his major states - Utah, Michigan, Massachusetts, that argument goes out the window.

The previous threads with Michigan polls had a few individuals, who were Newt backers (wasn't you and the names there are clear to see in those threads), going all in ripping Santorum, spamming the threads. Then they put vanity posts up repeating some outright lies as well as media twists implying things that aren't the case. It was Romney level attacks.

That helps Romney, right at the chance to politically make him fight the rest of the way with a broken jaw.

If Sarah Palin’s movie was called “The Undefeated,” then Mitt Romney’s movie should be called “The Unelectable.”
