Sorry... romney claimed that he won is Iowa and then had to admit a week later that he lost... damage done to Santorum... then they worked with the SoS of two states to keep Newt and Santorum off the ballots in the next two primary states... then mitt attacked newt in Florida like he never went after obama... no... mitt cheated his way with the help of preibus and rove. You dog will not hunt.
Santorum tied Romney here in Michigan so the rules committee got together and decided it for Romney in a 5/2 vote. Former attorney general and Romney supporter, Mike Cox said it was a dirty way to play.
A tie would have given both 14 delegates but likely ended Romney. However several thousand people voted for Bachmann, Cain, and Ron Paul. I suspect most of those votes would have gone to Santorum if people had accepted the fact that their candidates had effectively dropped out. Gingrich was still in the race but he did stand down in Michigan to avoid screwing things up.
