PPP: Santorum beating Romney in Michigan

[Lief 🗽]

I'm seriously contemplating buying Santorum to win the nomination at this point.

yeah it's nowhere near the ballgame.  it would just mean that we may have to drop the term 'frontrunner' from his name.  he has firewalls in AZ on the 28th and MA/VT/VA on 3/6.

I wouldn't be completely shocked if something weird happened in VT but I agree otherwise.

Also, I have a very hard time seeing Santorum compete with Romney in places like New York and California no matter what happens in MI.

If Carl Paladino can win the NY primary I'm sure Rick Santorum can.

I hope Paul wins the hipster precincts in Brooklyn.

Mittens is no Rick Lazio. Paladino won because NY Republicans didn't want to nominate some washed-out down-stater whose last major accomplishment was losing to Hillary Clinton. Paladino could not gave won the primary without unusually high enthusiasm upstate + low enthusiasm downstate. Santorum can't take advantage of the regional divide in the same way.

That sounds like what happened in Colorado. Mitt areas have low turn-out, Santorum/Gingrich areas have high turnout.
