Mitt Romney took a giant leap tonight in his quest to win the Republican nomination for President by winning Michigan and Arizona. This turns the momentum back to Romney and sets up next Tuesday as possibly a decisive night for the former Governor of Massachusetts.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mitt Romney scored a hard-won, home state triumph in Michigan and powered to victory in Arizona Tuesday night, gaining a two-state primary sweep over Rick Santorum and precious momentum in the most turbulent Republican presidential race in a generation.

"We didn't win by a lot, but we won by enough," Romney told cheering supporters in Michigan. He also tweeted his delight - and his determination: "I take great pride in my Michigan roots, and am humbled to have received so much support here these past few weeks. On to the March contests."

Santorum was already campaigning in Ohio, one of the Super Tuesday states, when the verdict came in from Michigan.

"A month ago they didn't know who we are, but they do now," he told his own supporters, vowing to stay the conservative course he has set.

There is no doubt Romney is growing as a candidate. His debates performances are much better than they were just a couple months ago, he has much more money than the other candidates and he is saying all the right things in his campaign speeches. Many are beginning to think he really will be the strongest candidate and it seems like his nomination is rapidly becoming inevitable despite the fact that true conservatives have major issues with him.
