PPP 2/26 poll for MI Romney 39 Santorum 37 [View all] grantcart Feb 2012 OP

MI might end up coming down to who turns out if it really is that close. Mr.Turnip Feb 2012 #1

Given Colorado (and how Romney lost despite taking Denver Metro)... Santorum might have the edge. joshcryer Feb 2012 #2

Maybe, but you have to remember that was a Caucus state. Mr.Turnip Feb 2012 #3

That is very true, definitely. Caucuses have their own problems. joshcryer Feb 2012 #4

Thank you. As I said before I think this will come down to who's base turns out. Mr.Turnip Feb 2012 #6

Nobody polled me and I'm voting for Sanctimonium on Tuesday in MI Bozita Feb 2012 #5
