Maybe Mitt Romney's multiple years of screaming for Detroit to go bankrupt as rapidly as possible are becoming a net-negative, pollingwise, or maybe the people of Michigan simply feel that Mitt Romney is a useless lying fraud, as people do everywhere. Whatever the case, he's now losing badly in his latest "firewall" state, Michigan, where his father was a governor and icon and legend and popular pillar of society for decades.
PPP's latest poll shows Santorum leading Romney by 15 percentage points, 39% to 24%, in Michigan, while ARG's only gives Santorum a six percentage point lead. Look at TPM's poll average -- that blah-colored line is Rick Santorum!

Keep it up, Rick! Your Pope is watching.
On the other hand, his dad totally looked like Paulie Walnuts.
