CNN updates today:
A new poll indicates Rick Santorum is holding onto the top spot in Michigan, the native state of his chief rival Mitt Romney.
Thirty-seven percent of likely Republican primary voters said they would back Santorum, while 32% preferred Romney, according to a new American Research Group survey…
Michigan, which holds its primary on February 28, has long been considered home turf for Romney, whose father once governed the Wolverine State. The candidate also carried the state in a much-needed victory in the 2008 Republican primary.
Most importantly, today’s poll in Michigan shows the same five-point margin for Rick Santorum over Mitt Romney that the poll showed a week ago–while support for both has grown in absolute terms as undecideds decide, and Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich slide toward obscurity. That consistency over time as other variables begin to lock in adds confidence to this poll.
For a host of reasons, only one of which being Romney’s strong ties to Michigan, a Santorum win there ahead of Super Tuesday would be another setback Romney doesn’t need.

Then there is a God, and (S)He is a Democrat.
OFA is doing hurried oppo research on Santorum in his home state, and is pissing people off in the process.
Read this, from the Harrisburg Patriot-News.
Very heavy-handed, not very slick, and IMHO very stupid to be so high-profile about it.
But only because it’s so unnecessary. Santorum’s negatives sell themselves.
You can’t just use Teh Google to look up negative history on him. 🙂
From the article, sounds like this was a state level person, not national.
But the link points to a form on the Obama-Biden web site.
mmmmmm-hmmmmm….
Although I have been predicting a Rick, google me, Santorum victory from the start of clown car last year/year before, I have always done so while retching. How anyone think this clown should be in office at any level, let alone the presidency is beyond comprehension.
The guy is creepy. He wants to institute papal control of the US (WashPo article this morning confirmed that). He thinks dogs are sex objects. He is something to think that there are any women on earth willing to vote for his vision of repression. And, he can’t not help his gayness any with those stupid sweater vests (sorry gay guys).
But, I figured this was the year the Republicans had to double down on their world of hate and ignorance; sexual ignorance and repression; white male dominance; and the black guy in office is so humiliating them and their KKK/Bircher/white supremacist backers.
The stinkiest of the pile is Santorum. You cannot bet against him until the convention. When all hell breaks loose. Even the next Bush will not be able to rescue the party of insanity.
what will the headline be?
Santorum Warns of Iran Attack on North Dakota

And, yes, that is NRO writing about Rick as if he is slightly nutty and not too bright.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine was ready to switch his endorsement from Mitt Romney to Rick Santorum on Friday.
http://www.google.com/hostedne…
The former U.S. senator was expected to make the announcement at a news conference at the statehouse in Columbus, Republicans with direct knowledge of the pending endorsement told The Associated Press only on condition of anonymity.
this brings me much joy.
you’ll hear will be ArapaBOT honing his seppuku blade . . . another RMoney samurai unable to face his shame.
These polls will move between now and February 28th. You are seeing the high point of the Santorum surge right now, and after Super Tuesday we’ll be talking about a different race.
There will be no brokered convention, as much as that makes the left salivate.
is going to allow the RMoneyBOTs to count votes, like they did in Iowa and Maine?
Stay . . ., er, I mean, keep that blade . . . sharp!
How many big donors is it going to take to buy high public office or he wilt like Whitman and burn a billion dollars that could have feed humans or housed the unborn on a vainly impossible quest? Even for a wealthy 1%er, $Romney is burning through the cash and isn’t getting the love in return. Not a good sign if you are a mindless A-BOT waiting for the next talking point from the Hive elitists.
With a helping hand from OH AG.
Romney left wallowing in backfired slime.
I don’t know what this does in the general, but Santorum horrific stand on birth control has won him a convert – DeWine.
I think Ohio goes red in November….
If someone or some party is doing something that looks real stupid, you have to make sure that there is not some hidden incentive to do it.
Now, of course, here is Colorado we have been blinded by the absolute stupidity of the repubs in the 2010 gov race. They really were stupid. BUT, we can not depend on that happening all the time.
his own personal asshole so that nobody can enter from the rear.
This endorsement has nothing to do with what’s good for the Country.
Neither did the Romney endorsement, but you know what I mean.
“This endorsement has nothing to do with what’s good for the Country.”
Politics is always about power, nothing else.
Mike DeWine is a long time anti-abortionist. But, he also was elected by the voters of Ohio. Hence, my concern.
will not alarm females like being anti-contraception
