Not true. Newt siphoned off enough votes in Michigan that could have given the state to Santorum. If Santorum had won Romney’s home state and a Northern Blue state at that, it would have caused a dramtic momentum shift.
Afterall, SC, Iowa and even Florida aren’t so important just because of the number of delegates at stake, they are important because wins there can create a snowball effect producing a feeling of inevitability that supresses the vote for the losers and energizes supporters of the winner.
Had Santorum pulled out Wins in Michigan or Ohio, which he may have done without Newt, it would have changed the dynamic completely.
Dude/dudette...you need to look at the actual numbers and the facts. Add up the delegate count. Read it and weep. I do.

Good evening.
