Santorum Campaign Says It’s a Tie (in Delegate Count) in Michigan

Mitt Romney may have won the popular vote in the Michigan primary on Tuesday,
but Mr. Santorum’s campaign says that he has won just as many delegates as Mr. Romney.
As of Wednesday morning, the Santorum campaign said,
both candidates had won seven delegates, out of possible 30, which John Brabender,
Mr Santorum’s senior strategist, cast as “disaster” for Mr. Romney,
considering that Mr. Romney grew up in Michigan and outspent Mr. Santorum on television ads.

On a conference call with reporters, Mr. Brabender first said that the Michigan secretary of state
had determined the tie, but upon questioning, he stepped back a bit and said,
“I am basing this on anecdotal and empirical data.”
He said he would not vouch for the accuracy of it, but added,
“It’s highly likely that Michigan will end up being in a tie,
based upon the data as we know it right now.”
