Could Santorum actually get more delegates in MI?

[catbyte]

Michigan allocates delegates per congressional delegation and there are 15. Santorum has won 7 or 8 districts, so he could walk away with more than Romney, who won Detroit, but tanked elsewhere.

Not that it matters, I guess.

1. I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out

why Detroit went for Romney after his "Let Detroit go bankrupt" comment.

4. Be clear

Republicans in Detroit went for Romney. I'm guessing if you're a Republican in Detroit, you hate the UAW as much as Romney does.

5. Sad, but true

7. It's true, many people HATE the unions.

They all have the story of the guy making $100,000 per year to sit on his ass and do nothing because of the union.

When pressed, the guy is always the Brother-in-laws cousin.....

8. frankly there aren't a whole lot of republicans in Detroit, but those there are did vote for Mittens

2. Looks like they have eleven each from Michigan right now.

They'll probably split the remaining eight.

Hardly a decisive win for Romney but that's the way it's being played.

3. Yes, he could

If Santorum wins 8 congressional districts, he gets 16 delegates plus 1 at-large; Romney would have 12+1. It's been driving me crazy that the press is calling this a win for Romney, as if the popular vote count matters; it'll be a tie at best.

6. I know!

WTF?

9. Looks like it's 15 each

Michigan Repub party preliminary results: http://www.migopprimary.com/index.asp

At this moment, NYT says only one county is incomplete - Cass, with 95% reported. That's in district 6, where Santorum has a lead of over 4500 - well over the final 5% of Cass. The Repub party page has 7 districts for Romney, 7 for Santorum, and they spilt the 2 state-wide delegates, since that's proportional.
