Rick Santorum's recent surge in the polls leading up to Super Tuesday has parts of the Republican establishment excited for the possibility of having a hardline, hardcore conservative candidate for the November election against Obama.
Others aren't so sure.
GOP strategists unaffiliated with campaigns keep running the numbers, and an Obama vs. Santorum matchup in December shows Obama winning by a landslide, and that's with a rather anemic economic recovery. If the recovery continues to gain steam, it might not even be a fair fight for Santorum.

Trump Strongly Supports Romney
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/20/trump-takes-hatchet-to-santorum/
Donald Trump recently spoke on a Michigan radio show about his support for Mitt Romney. Trump has put a lot of money behind Romney, and is starting to harshly attack Rick Santorum. Trump is going to speak several times in Michigan to try and gain Michigan for Romney. He is showing strong support for Romney while bashing Santorum. Trump is a very well repeated business man so he's opinion might matter to the public and to the people of Michigan. Trump stated that the demarcates are waiting for Santorum to win because he believes the democrats think that if Santorum is elected, it will be an easy election. Trump's strong backing of Romney shows how the elites of our society can have a possible drastic impact on the political elections. With the upcoming elections in Michigan, Trump may have an impact on voters decisions.
Should Trump's opinion really impact the decisions of voters? In my opinion his opinion should have no effect what-so-ever on the publics choice. Yes he is a very wealthy and successful business man, but there are several possible reasons as to why Trump is backing Romney so strongly. Trump may have other interests or motives behind his behavior that we don't know. So Trump's decision could be clouded by some things we don't see or know about; for all we know Trump might not even think Romney is the best candidate, he could be protecting his own interests. The public should do there own digging and search more into the candidates instead of simply letting the opinion of a powerful business man persuade them into making a decision.

A bad investment, or a bad sign?
According to a source in a recent article on CNN's PoliticalTicker, Mitt Romney's campaign has purchased $1.2 million in television airtime for the upcoming Michigan primary.
$1.2 million for airtime in Romney's home state.
The Romney campaign feels it prudent to spend quite a lot of money for a primary in a state that, frankly, he should be able to walk away with uncontested. Such a large push in Michigan is proof that the campaign is starting to strain.

And the winner is... old news.
HEADLINE: "Santorum jolts GOP presidential race with 3-state sweep"
Yawn.
Please excuse my lack of enthusiasm, but I hardly see a "jolted" GOP. After seeing this and countless other headlines Wednesday morning, I sat and thought about the primaries and just what these three in particular meant.
