Santorum leads Romney in Ohio poll
Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney
/ CBS/APFormer Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has a small lead over rival Mitt Romney in the latest poll of likely Republican primary voters in Ohio.
Conducted by Quinnipiac University, the poll found Santorum leads the former Massachusetts governor 36 percent to 29 percent, though almost half of respondents said they could still change their mind ahead of the Buckeye state primary to be held in a little more than a week's time.
"While almost half the voters say they might change their mind, Santorum supporters seem a little surer of their vote," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
Brown noted that the results of the Michigan primary Tuesday could have an impact on Ohio's election a week later. Arizona also votes Tuesday before the ten contests on March 6, known collectively as "Super Tuesday."
Romney now has a slight lead over Santorum in Michigan, 39 percent to 37 percent, according to Public Policy Polling, a Democratic-leaning polling firm. The Michigan support is stronger for Romney than it was a week ago, while support for Santorum has remained about the same. Romney is widely expected to win Arizona, where he has consistently held a comfortable lead in a number of polls.
The Ohio Quinnipiac telephone poll of 847 likely Republican primary voters was conducted February 23 through 26 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

Well just look at us in Canada. They have death panels here. My mom was smothered with a pillow last night just for having the sniffles.
I'm torn. Part of me wants Santorum to be the GOP nominee because while his shtick plays to the far right base of the GOP, moderates and independents will run in droves towards Obama, no matter how much better or worse things get.
On the other hand, even the slightest risk that Santorum might win (never assume the stupidity of voters) scares me to no ends. At least Romney I could live with, I think he's just playing to his base, like Santorum, but once elected will, unlike Santorum, move to the center. I'm not sure we can afford to risk even the slightest chance that the neanderthal Santorum will get elected.
LOL!
Still living in your parents basement eh?
Even if I lived in my parents basement, what I said would still be true. The GOP is horrified at the prospect of Santorum winning the GOP nomination and you know it.
