I fully support Newt Gingrich but his ability to rise up in the polls is dependent on Romney losing.

A Michigan loss would be important to helping Newt in the long run.

I’d vote for Santorum if I lived in Michigan just for that purpose.

I’m not sure about your assessment, which seems to be the consensus of most Freepers. I’m beginning to think it will be the best thing for Gingrich if Santorum LOSES, and loses big tomorrow. First, according to conventional wisdom, Romney is supposed to get big momentum from his wins going into Super Tuesday. But the majority of Super Tuesday delegates come from the South, where Romney is DETESTED. On the other hand, is Santorum squeaks out a win in Michigan, lots of Christian conservative voters in the South will see it as confirmation that Santorum is God’s choice. I am also fairly certain that, no matter what Santorum voters may say, they won’t return the favor and support Newt in the South. Look at what happened in Florida. Santorum had pulled out, right? But I heard NOTHING from his voters about all getting together and voting for Newt. As far as I’m concerned, Newt really owes Rick nothing.
