What if Newt wins the next 3 Deep Southern States in a gob smack win style? What does that say about Romney? IMHO he is really damaged at that point. I am not given up hope yet...
History may show that Santorum missed his chance by a few thousand votes in both Michigan and Ohio. A 1% swing in Ohio and a 2% swing in Michigan, and the headlines would be reading “Romney on the Ropes”. Santorum is by no means out of it, but as long as he’s splitting the conservative vote with Gingrich, I think Romney is going to continue squeaking out victories in the big states. Romney will likely limp to victory, but he’ll be doing so without an ounce of enthusiasm from the Republican base. Not a good scenario for a man who is going to have to take on the master of hyperbole in November.
