romney will have a morning event in toledo and an afternoon event in columbus, ohio. that's where he knows he has to do well and he has to get conservatives to coalesce around him. there was a real scare for the romney camp last week, where the former ohious senator and attorney general revoked and withdrew his endorsement of romney and went to santor up. there was a concern that that could have been the beginning of an erosion of the romney firewall. that didn't happen. today's victory is a come back upance because he has clawed back. but in the overall year and-a-half, in which this is a state he was expected to have a cakewalk in, rick santorum made mitt romney spend a lot of money, defend his home turf. talk about how he liked the perfect height of the trees and his family and relatives who live across michigan was very, very important for him. when he goes to ohio and super tuesday, mitt romney won't have the benefit of his native state to play on. he will be on fresh territory, where rick santorum leads the polls in ohio and elsewhere. newt gingrich looking to d
