Just keep the lead through the debate, Rick. We can dispatch Romney in Michigan!
“When the other candidates are taken out of the equation, Santorum leads Romney 47% to 40% in a two-man race in Michigan.”
Newt, help us out at least at the debate tomorrow night.
We’re counting on it!
The GOAL is to beat Willard in Michigan with the strongest conservative there.
Now that Ari Fleisher has let the cat out of the bag, that the GOP establishment is switching to Santorum, things are going to get interesting.
Romney will be crying, of course, but nobody is going to be able to claim that Santorum would be an avenue of change.
Remember when Romney took a huge crap on Newt at the start of the Florida debates by leveling so many accusations against him that he couldn’t respond? Yeah, he’ll be doing that against Santorum tomorrow night.
I doubt Rick will hold up to it any better than Newt did.
Those Republicans Wasting their votes on Ron Paul and Gingrich are HANDING the election to Mittens!!!!
Michigan Republican Presidential Primary Polling Data
Rasmussen Repor 2/20 - 2/20 Santorum +4
Mitchell/Ro 2/20 - 2/20 Romney +2
WeAskAm 2/19 - 2/19 Tie
PPP 2/17 - 2/19 Santorum +4
Santorum-bashing Gingrich supporters need to STFU. We both need Romney to lose.
Interestingly delegate wise, the allocation is by congressional district outside of two statewide at large delegates. That means Romney or Santorum could lose the state and win the most delegates.
If Santorum can hang on, Romney could be if not knocked out, forced to fight the rest of the way with a broken jaw. That helps both Santorum and Newt.
The bottom line here is this. Do you want Romney to win here or not? If not, Santorum's the only choice in the Michigan primary.
Not bad. The news media have been going all out to demonize Rick the past few days—including Matt Drudge. And Bishop Mitt has been spending a lot of advertising dollars. If Rick can stay ahead of Mitt, that will be terrific.
I’m sorry to see all the Santorum bashers on this thread. It really doesn’t help their candidate to do that sort of thing. It just annoys people.
Make him spend it all, Rick!
Even if you’re a Newt fan, ya gotta love how Santorum is giving Myth ulcers :-)
