Giving his industrial state background, Santorum was a natural fit for both Michigan and Ohio and even with Newt not actively competing in either, Santorum still couldn’t seal the deal in both places.

Santorum is finished with this showing in the area he should have done better...his run is over regardless of his decent finish in these states. Paul has fallen out of sight and Newt, my favorite, is still bumping along close to the bottom. Willard is going to be the winner albeit he cannot get more than half of the party behind him, frankly, I think if he were alone on the ballot, he still would not get 60% of the vote.

So, regardless of the protestations of the candidates aside from Romney, I think it is all over but the shouting now. Paul probably will stay in to the end as this is his swan song as he is not running for Congress again and Newt and Rick are just spliting the anti Romney vote amongst themselves.

I believe that Newt would be the best candidate from an intellectional and debate point of view but he does not have the resources to win. The sole remaining point will be to determine whom Romney will ask onto his ticket.
