But I hope I'm wrong and santorum takes it. He is so radical he will turn off eighty percent of American voters..

in the hopes that some Rmoney supporters won't bother showing up and that some (D)s cross over to make the difference.

They are both repugnant, each for their own reasons. They have also inflicted so much damage on each other and egos are so inflated that I don't think any of the candidates can walk away actually appearing as winners.

The whole encouraging Democrats to turn out and vote for him is pretty strange, though, since most Democrats think Santorum would be the easiest to beat in the general election.

those are still votes, which is all Frothy needs to care about.

In fact, those solicitations are no doubt intended at least in part to pull for "vote for Frothy to screw the Republicans" Democratic votes.

8. I thought Romney would take Michigan by 5 points just 2 days ago.

I thought momentum was with Romney. But for some reason over the last 24hrs I think it has switched again. I really thought the polls today would show Romney increasing his lead. But the opposite is happening. Santorum right now actually has the momentum. It is really going to be close. I think Romney still wins, but its not going to be called until very late into the night.
