I don’t know. Looking at Michigan it appears that the social issues are pretty important to social conservatives. Romney won in Detroit and Santorum won the rest of the state in a 7/7 congressional district split.
The problem for Romney now is that he simply can’t win most of the districts he won last in a match up against Obama and has to make them up by winning the districts he didn’t win last night.

I was thinking the same thing last night.
The exit polls say that Myth the RINO won Republicans 48-37, he about tied with Santorum for Independents, and Santorum won huge with Democrats 53-18. Santorum also won big from people who “strongly oppose the Tea Party,” so I think those Democrats who voted for him were mischief-makers, not Reagan Democrats. About 1-in-10 of MI Primary voters was a Democrat and about 1-in-9 “strongly oppose the Tea Party,” so it looks like Myth probably legitimately won by about 6 or 7 points, not 3, and at least a couple of those Santorum delegates may have been won because of commies messing with us.
I’m for Gingrich, not Santorum, but I can’t stand Romney so I’m really glad Myth’s not getting those delegates. Still, Santorum supporters shouldn’t suggest he had a great night in Michigan because some little red brats decided to play a prank.
