GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has pulled into a tie with rival Rick Santorum in Ohio, a new poll finds.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Sunday shows Romney and Santorum tied with 32 percent support from likely GOP voters in Ohio, two days ahead of that state's crucial Republican primary.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich follows with 17 percent support, trailed by Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) at 6 percent.

Well, sure you would, trapped..cuz lemme guess the reason now,...ummm.. You don’t like Rick Santorum...RIGHT? Well, at least that’s settled. /s

I don’t “dislike” or “hate” Rick. I don’t think he’s equipped to take on the left. Too many missteps, and too much backtracking.

The stop Mitt voters—and I suppose you are one and I know that I am one—are favoring Rick over both Newt and The Nut. But you are saying that those who are voting against Mitt Romney are either “moderate” or of “sorry minds.” Curious concept-and one that can't be addressed in full until GOP nominee Rick Santorum goes up against the Leftists in the Obama campaign who invented it.

Agree - can't be addressed until the nominee goes up - I just hope if those backing Santorum get their way, we don't have buyer's remorse as a damper to ousting Obama.

IMO, Rick had the nomination in the bag if he could have deflected questions about social issues. He always takes the damn bait, and now we are left with this lying socialist bas**** who will punish America with the kind of leftist judges whom he appointed in Massachusetts. “Our charlatan is better than your fraud!” What an inspiring race we have ahead of us.

First of all, you are a disgusting human to call Santorum a “douchebag”. You have no more class than the leftist nuts on other websites. You should be ashamed of yourself, but people such as you never are.

I don’t quite agree. Mitt hasn’t been called on his extreme liberal record, or his lying. The false perception that Romney is pretty conservative has been left to stand. I can’t fathom why.
