Santorum would win in a landslide against Romney in MI if only Gingrich graciously withdraws from the race. Time to put conservatism ahead of personal ego. Gingrich is simply not making the sale with primary voters with his pie-in-the-sky stuff promises. The baggage he carries is so heavy its unlikely he will get any further traction except help split the conservative vote against Romney.
See what happens if Gingrich drops off: It would be worse for Romney if Gingrich pulls out. Santorum beats Romney in a landslide.
This is an excerpt from Public Policy Polling. “Rick Santorum has all the momentum in Michigan right now,” Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling, said in a press release. “But it’s important to note that more than 50 percent of voters say they could change their minds in the next two weeks. There’s a lot of room for this race to shift back toward Romney in the coming days.”
“Voters were more likely to have a favorable opinion of Santorum (67 percent) than Romney (49 percent) in the PPP poll.”
“If Gingrich dropped out of the GOP presidential nomination race, his support is more likely to flow to Santorum than Romney, the poll indicates. If just Romney, Santorum and Paul were in the race, Santorum would get 48 percent (up from 39 percent if Gingrich were in) and Romney 27 (up from 24 percent).”
