Does it all come down to Michigan? (and maybe Ohio)

Santorum has 44 delegates. Romney has 98. If Santorum gets ALL of Michigan's delegates he'll have 74. How could this possibly mean a race which requires 1,144 delegates is over?

I'm saying that if Romney wins Michigan and Ohio, I don't see a legitimate path for Santorum (or anyone else) to defeat him over the course of the process.

If Santorum wins, especially Michigan, things become more interesting in terms of the feeling of inevitability about Romney.

I think that Romney is still regarded as more "electable" by most movers and shakers in the GOP (see Grace's RedState bit as an example)

But if Romney loses Michigan and Ohio, things get more interesting.
