Michigan to Romney: Go away
http://www.cnn.com ^ | February 14, 2012 | LZ Granderson

“I might not like a lot of Santorum's views, but at least I know what they are. Saying Romney flip-flops is an insult to flip-flops. That's why, according to a poll by the American Research Group, 33% of Michigan GOP voters say they support Santorum and only 27% support Romney.”

Even this Michigan liberal writer trusts Santorum over Romney! LOL.

Romney is in vast trouble if he does not win. This is where he was born.

If Romney loses Michigan, he should pack it in and go home. The only thing worse for him would be losing in Massachusetts. It’s beginning to look like Santorum is going to win this entire thing. I just worry that he can’t win the general. It will be difficult for him to even carry his home state, where the last time he ran, he lost.

He lost because he WENT ALONG WTH THE ESTABLISHMENT and backed Arlen Specter; Santorum acted like a good little GOPer and went with Bush and the DC establishment RINOS to back Specter. We all know how that turned out. Toomey, the conservative running against Specter barely lost, so Santorum's endorsement might have mattered. Also, Santorum ran against Casey, son of a staunchly prolife and popular Dem governor.

Hopefully, Santorum has learned a thing or two. I believe he can beat Obama, if the voter fraud can be held to a minimum. I still believe Newt is the smartest man in the room, but Santorum with, say, Col West as VP running mate could definitely beat Obama.

This regime has to be stopped.

All of which tells me the Santorumn surge is a ruse.

It is obvious that you did not read the article. The writer may be a flaming lib, but he absolutely nails Romney to the wall. Romney is so phony even the most deluded commie can see it. You won’t see a truer picture of Romney described anywhere, certainly not in the GOP controlled media. He may be a socialist, but this man knows Mitt.

“I just worry that he can’t win the general.”

I don’t believe he can, but I have a greater concern. IF he did win the general, I don’t think he has what it takes to lead this country out of the woods.

Paul has 25 million and can’t even win a state. Sheesh. That is embarrassing. I thought he was running on a shoestring like Santorum is.

Why would he slam Romney to promote someone that is at odds with his social values?

I think it is because he knows Santorum will be the weakest candidate in a general election.

Romney needs to get his head handed to him. Whether Newt does it or Santorum makes no difference to me. The sooner Romney sees there is no way for him to win, the better. Perhaps Newt can up his game and get back into it because right now the only one giving Romney any trouble is Santorum. May he continue.

Mr. Granderson may know GLBT...but he doesn't know squat about bankruptcies an reorganization.

Well-educated, no doubt. But, like most liberals, ignorant.

I realize that I am preaching to the choir, but if Santorum wins we will have to unite and get behind him as the alternative is OBAMA. We have a Supreme Court at stake along with and economy that is going over a cliff to name just a “few” issues. I personally don’t care to be discussing birth control for crying out loud! I do agree with the Catholic Church that Obama has crossed the line on Religious Freedoms. I just see where the left and Romney will attack Santorum on his reproductive views. It is ridiculous in my opinion and yes I am a woman. As for Santorum losing in 2006, well the world has changed for the worse. If he is open and honest about why he lost he stands a chance.
