I still expect him to win Michigan and Arizona by 10+ points.
An up to date poll.
Gingrich, being a magnanimous man, cleared out of Michigan for Santorum to take on Romney alone.
Steelfish is not going to like this poll at all.
Please be smarter than this, Michigan voters.
Ras consistently demonstrates in numbers the demise of the American intellect, values, and her Constitution. Santorum may be a gaffe machine, shooting both feet off in concert with shooting off his mouth, an unnecessarily unsubtle oaf, but he is not an empty suit with hair, and he is a Christian willing to defend the faith of the nation’s founding, its Constitution, its Bill of Rights.
Romney is a proud, fine socialist, at a time when government of, by and FOR a free people is in peril, but key to our survival.
I can no longer invest life energy in a race in which the electorate is so easily swayed by Television Commercials. I think I’ll devote the rest of my year to disrespecting Obama.
This poll is not surprising after the double team by Ron and Mitt, plus Rick’s debate performance. I expect the margin to widen.
What I’m really wondering is, is there a hope that Newt and Rick could team up? Now that it is pretty obvious that Ron and Mitt have a deal, I don’t see Rick being strong armed into a ticket with Mitt, even if the GOP E may have had that in mind.
I would think that there is too much bad blood on the floor between the two. We need to keep the ticket as conservative as possible.
Newt is by far the superior leader IMHO, but if he and Rick could work together, I think Newt could get enough done in 4 years that he could then step aside and let his VP, Rick, run. In that length of time Rick could learn a lot from Newt and be more ready to lead.
If Mitt and Ron want to play that game, surely we can find a way to out maneuver them.
Would love to see a discussion of this. Thanks!
I’m just glad the governor doesn’t expect us to be team players in November because I don’t think I’m going to feel like taking one for the team if he’s the nominee.
No surprise at all; the early Santorum leads were illusory. People of MI nearly always do as expected.

Just got my fifth robo call from the Romney campaign today. TV is filled with his attack ads. Santorum is shown with a stupid smile on his face as the narrator “explains” about Rick’s big government background.
Five Romney calls in one day matches my previous record from Tuesday. Gotta believe there will be at least two or three more before bedtime.
If Santorum wins in Michigan, Romney will have truly failed on a vast scale. He must be spending a fortune here.
In addition to Obamacare type program in MA. Romney was also creating a cap and trade, CO2 reduction program for MA. He consulted the science Czar John Holdren. link
Michigan Republicans can’t be this stupid. C’mon people! SANTORUM!
I checked the questions, and I can confirm that I was one of the 750 polled last night. I chose Santorum.
My preferences at this point are:
1. No to Obama
2. No to Romney
3. Yes to Santorum
4. Yes to Gingrich
5. Yes to SOC - “some other candidate”
I’m not likely to change my mind about 1. and 2. (Although I will vote for Romney with less enthusiasm than I voted for McCain.) But I could change my mind concerning 3. 4. and 5.
Michiganders are too gullible
Saint o’ Rum or Centrum, or whatever his name is, needs to adopt the Gingrich noisy and in your face strategy so as to offset the whiney, needy, dependent aspects of Romney’s negative lame ads.
I usually post the latest polls, but yesterday I literally had one of the moderators tell me to stop posting the latest polls in breaking news..
Today I log in and log at breaking news... and here this post is. I don’t understand when a poll constitutes breaking news and when it doesn’t. I have been busting my tail for months posting the latest polls of the race usually within minutes of them being released. Sometimes even before they were released by posting the tweets that they were about to be released. And yet yesterday I get dressed down for my selfless efforts to make this site the go-to stop for the latest up to date information on the race. And I was doing it for free.
I don’t get it.
