Blumenthal analyzes the final Michigan numbers:
The former Pennsylvania senator has significantly outperformed his polling estimates in previous contests, particularly in the Iowa, Colorado and Minnesota caucuses and the non-binding Missouri caucuses. But those contests featured exceptionally low turnouts, allowing Santorum's energized evangelical Christian base to have an outsized and unexpected impact.
Early reports suggest that turnout in Michigan is low. Avlon points out that Santorum could easily win the most Michigan delegates even if he loses the popular vote.
