and really not all that impressive given it's one of his home states. Still a weak front runner.

EAST LANSING, Mich. Fueled by a strong debate performance Wednesday night, Mitt
Romney continues to lead Rick Santorum in the latest Mitchell/Rosetta Stone Poll of Michigan
conducted for MIRS (Michigan Information & Research Service) the night after the CNN Debate.
The two front runners are still in a statistical dead heat, although Romney (36%) has increased
his lead by 1% over Rick Santorum (33%) while Ron Paul (12%) replaced Newt Gingrich (9%) in
third place. Undecided voters dropped in half to 11%.

The telephone survey of 430 likely 2012 Republican Presidential Primary voters was conducted
jointly by Mitchell Research & Communications, Inc. of East Lansing, Michigan and Rosetta
Stone Communications of Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday, February 23, 2012, and has a margin
of error of + or - 4.7%. It was an automated IVR (Interactive Voice Response) Poll.

Romney has made big inroads with conservatives over the past ten days: Santorum's 16% lead among
Tea Party voters has been erased and he is now tied with them; his 16% lead with Evangelical
Christians has now been cut in half to 8%, and Santorum's 31% lead with self-identified
conservatives has now been cut to 13%.

However if he faces the turnout problems he's had again he may lose anyway.

people to vote then we could get a very interesting result.

Santorum can steal it just because a few Dems want to manipulate the vote.

I do think Romney has the advantage going into the primary but Santorum has outperformed his polls before, South Carolina was a big example of that he got I think 16-18 percent he was polling around 10-11. And in Colorado he was polling 27-30, he got 40.

Hence the reason I'm also so weary of the polls.

If I were his adviser I would tell him to get larengitis.

I'll wait for the actual vote count. I think Santorum has it.

needs a small win. Just to keep the game on. Sanctorum should notch a few on super tuesday to keep it in flux. This needs to play out until we get to the big states.
