Still with the margin of error it's still anybody's contest, but Mitten's money is making a difference again:

EAST LANSING, Mich.  Mitt Romney has regained the lead in a Mitchell/Rosetta Stone Poll
of Michigan conducted for MIRS (Michigan Information & Research Service). The two front
runners are now in a statistical dead heat with Romney (32%) having a 2% lead over Rick
Santorum (30%) while Newt Gingrich (9%) and Ron Paul (7%) are far behind in a trial
Republican presidential ballot test. About one in five voters remain undecided (22%). Eight
days ago, Santorum had a 9% lead and twelve days before that Romney led by 15% in a topsyturvy
race.
The telephone survey of 420 likely 2012 Republican Presidential Primary voters was conducted
jointly by Mitchell Research & Communications, Inc. of East Lansing, Michigan and Rosetta
Stone Communications of Atlanta, Georgia on Monday, February 20, 2012, and has a margin of
error of + or  4.7%. It was an automated IVR (Interactive Voice Response) Poll.

After Santorums war on porn and his perceived anger of women, he's pretty much screwed I think.

I can't imagine any women voters voting for this guy.

Yeah, even though Romney's favorables in Michigan have gone up and Santorum's has stayed the same, making them about equal, I cant help but think Rick showing why he shouldnt be the nominee has helped Mitt in Michigan, though I cant prove it. But when Rick foolishly challenged Obama's theology, that had to give some people in Michigan second thoughts about his electability and judgement. This primary contenst is putting me seconds a way from a fucking heart attack. We have come dangerously close to nominating Gingrich AND Satorum when we have an incumbent who is very beatable.

On the issues - there is little or no difference between Romney and Obama.

I want to support mittens, but I just have nothing to hang my hat on.  Ill vote for him of course, but I'm not at all excited or happy about it.
