He leads Santorum 38-37 among men and 42-37 among women.

Based on these numbers, Romney would win by about 41-38.

Even if Romney wins Michigan...and it should have been a no-brainer 2 weeks ago - the "inevitability" crown no longer fits. He's looking at a lot of states where he won't do well, primarlly the Southern States. So this isn't going to be settled anytime soon. And I do hope that Mitt is the eventually winner. Here's why. (1) he's going to have a very unenthusiastic Party behind him. Hard to get excited about a northeastern Mormon governor with his liberal Romneycare agenda. And longer term, (2) assuming he loses the GE, the Republican brand is far from settled. There will be a big push to go further right in 2016 because "Mitt wasn't conservative enough." The moral certitudists will be demanding a candidate to Rick Santorum's right - and there lies the path to toal oblivion.

Romney is damaged goods and will likely get even more damaged as this clown show goes on.

2. That is too bad.

3. Will he pull it out

and be covered in Santorum?

11. That is really apt. He put it in the wrong hole.

4. It also looks like Dems made up 9% of the vote - half went to Santorum...

5. Based on those numbers I agree.

7. Ha! Go figure.

9. By a decent margin too

12. Romney's lead is expanding.

It looks like he may win by by a couple of points (3-5%).

Romney is running up good totals in Detroit and the suburbs.

[DCBob]

13. a likely to expand more.

The suburbs around Detroit and Lansing are only half counted and Romney trends high in those areas.

14. Thats tight when you take into account absentee ballots. nt
