Why is Mitt Romney pretending he won Michigan?!

Dude, you SPLIT delegates 15-15. It was a TIE...In your OWN HOMETOWN. Meanwhile, in Santorum's home state of PA he's beating Romney by +21 (PA is 72 delegates). Romney is also poised to lose Texas HUGE to Santorum and Texas is 155 delegates. This is NOT in the bag for Romney yet, especially considering the rest of the Evangelicals in the South.

that Santorum went into New Hampshire with a big, post-Iowa win bounce when he wasn't awarded Iowa for a week.

The fix is in.

The 'Erie Times' ran a poll and 75% said no way they will vote for him. The 'Erie Times' always backed Phil English, this is a very red area.

and that's what the public pays attention to at this point, not delegate counts. Plus, he actually managed to get more votes (and a higher percentage of votes) this time than he did in 2008, even though in 2008 he had not yet pissed all over the automobile industry. So if I was him (and thankfully I'm not), I'd be calling it a victory too.
