Romney Focused On Michigan

Topics: Mitt Romney

As CBS News' Scott Conroy reports, Mitt Romney is digging in for the long haul. Romney is now seeking more money and vowing to win the Michigan primary, hoping a win there would rejuvenate his presidential campaign following disappointing second-place finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Romney certainly seems to be turning his focus almost entirely to Michigan, which votes on January 15th: CBS News political consultant Marc Ambinder reports that Romney is presently not airing ads in Florida and South Carolina, two key upcoming primary states.

"Resources are being reallocated as we head into Michigan," Romney's press secretary Eric Fehrnstrom told CBS News. "We are dark for today and tomorrow in those states, but no final decisions have been made."
