And Michigan's delegates are awarded proportionally. So if Romney doesn't win by much, he doesn't get that many extra delegates. I'm told that MI delegates aren't a tightly bound to the person they're supposed to vote for at the convention, but it could still be a very Pyrrhic victory today. Five-Thirty-Eight still has Santorum leading in Ohio and that would be a huge setback for Romney.
I guess the only bad thing about all of this is that if Santorum does eke out a win and becomes the nominee, we're going to find out just how strong the ultra-conservative base in America really is and I'm terrified what happens if the answer doesn't go my way.
