Michigan's delegate allocation process is described here: two for the statewide winner, two for the winner of each of the state's 14 congressional districts.

Accordingly, a 15-15 split is not possible. Santorum could actually pocket 16 or 18 delegates since he won 64% of Michigan's counties. It would depend on the geography of the congressional districts.

According to your link, and using the prelim results, Santorum won 7 CDs, Romney 7 CDs, Santorum wins 14 EVs, and Romney wins 16 EVs.

Apparently Romney plays well with apolitical morons in the suburbs. It’s the only reason he keeps winning close primaries.

According to the link in post #3,
they split the congressional districts 7-7 (that’s 14 delegates for each candidate)

and because the popular vote was so close, the two statewide delegates were going to be split (one for each)

15-15

If nobody wins 50%, the 2 statewide delegates are split proportionately, so they each get 1 delegate.
