Rick Santorum holds a small three point lead in the Michigan GOP primary according to the latest Detroit Free Press poll.

Hopefully this week will be the “Cry Havoc, and Let Slip the Newts of War” edition, because his team has decided that the reason he’s trailing is that he’s not obnoxious enough.

For all the stiffness and the flip-flopping, what has really gotten Mitt Romney into trouble with the Republican primary electorate is when he says something that shades too close to the truth. We saw another example of that yesterday, when Romney committed the sin of explaining that austerity can worsen the economy in a recession.

In almost every new national poll Rick Santorum performs just about as well as Mitt Romney in a hypothetical general election match up against President Obama. The new national polls out today from AP/GfK and Qunnipiac both have Romney performing only a single point better than Santorum in the general election.

At the very least it looks like Mitt Romney will secure one win next Tuesday, in Arizona. Next week has GOP primaries in Michigan and Arizona. While polling indicates there is a decent chance Rick Santorum could win Michigan, all the recent polling of Arizona shows Romney with the lead.

While Mitt Romney’s polling numbers have started to improve in Michigan, Rick Santorum’s national lead continues to grow. Santorum now holds a 10 point national lead over Romney according to Gallup Daily Tracking poll. Santorum is at 36 percent and Romney is at 26 percent. In addition Newt Gingrich has continued his slide down to just 13 percent support, slightly above Ron Paul.

Following his triple win, last week Rick Santorum surged into a clear lead in the Michigan primary. But over the past few days Mitt Romney has managed to recover some of his lost ground. According to two new polls of the state Romney has made substantial gains on Santorum’s lead and may even be ahead.

Former governor of America’s Wang, Jeb Bush is not going to be answering his phone or door when the Republicans come crawling to him asking to be saved from the Santorum-covered Romneymonster this summer. We think we know where he’ll be.

One of the biggest and most important unknowns in the Republican Presidential primary right now is whether or not billionaire Sheldon Adelson will put another several million into a Super PAC trying to elect Newt Gingrich.

Is Mitt Romney the best of all possible GOP candidates?
