Yes it's true honestly, Rick Santorum. Lets go to the polling numbers.
In Ohio:
Santorum 36%
Romney 29%
Gingrich 20%
Paul 9%
In Pennsylvania:
Santorum 34%
Romney 32%
Paul 16%
Gingrich 15%
In Michigan:
Santorum 39%
Romney 24%
Paul 12%
Gingrich 11%
Mitt Romney is down by by 15 points in his home state of Michigan, just 13 days from the primary, that ladies and gentleman spells big trouble for Mitt Romney. He was raised in Michigan, his father was a popular Governor there, his mother even ran for Senate there. If he loses in Michigan, a state he carried big in 2008, all bets are off. Last August I predicted Romney would win the Republican nomination. I'm still not prepared to back away from that yet, but if he goes down hard in Michigan, it will be a massive game changer. Adding to his polling nightmare, in 3 out of 4 national polls he is either losing, or in a statistical dead heat against Santorum. In the era of "Citizens United" maybe money can't buy you the Presidency... Maybe? There is no question Romney has a serious disconnect with Republican voters, and with the conservative rebellion stared by Gingrich, and now catching fire with Santorum, Romney seems to be losing control of a dialogue he struggled with from the beginning. Here is his latest mistake.

Here he makes an ad that touts his roots in Michigan, and then talks fondly about the American automobile industry, and the Detroit Car Show, all of which would be GONE if Mitt Romney had gotten his way. It is astounding that he dared to even go there?! If he thinks this ad is going to help him make up 15 points, with 13 days to go, guess again.
On the other hand, you have the rise of religious Rick. Who only 18% of Republicans think can beat Barack Obama, 55% think Romney can. So there sits the dilemma for Republicans. Do they go with the man who has the best chance to win that they hate, or do they go with the guy who has little chance of winning that they love? Make no mistake people, Rick Santorum is just as good as Newt Gingrich when matched against the President. Oh he has his hard right political convictions, and blue collar appeal, but he's just as big a whack job as Gingrich ever was. He just hasn't been baptised by the fire of being vetted by the media, or truly taken on by his opponents, because until now he was thought a non factor, but that's gonna change real quick. So if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take my Gingrich sign off the lawn to put up my new Santorum one.
