Sorry, but Newt’s not contesting Michigan, nor the 7th district as Michigan votes delegates based on congressional districts. It’s between Santorum or Romney here. Romney needs to lose.
If delegates are awarded proportional, wouldn't it help Newt to receive votes? I know Romney is expected to win in Michigan, but was hoping Newt could pick up some delegates too.

No. Because Michigan complied with state law regarding election dates and chose a primary, we're losing 1/2 of our delegates. The allocation is winner take all 2 per congressional district with 2 at large. While the 'two' are supposed to be proportional in a technical sense, it's going to the winner, whoever it is.
As for Romney expected to win here, I have something to say about that.

he’d have to win an entire district, and with him not campaigning here, it will be impossible. Those who want Newt over Romney need to vote Santo.
