If anything, it seems to be an overuse of assets IMO by Romney.
I don't know man, some people are looking at Wisconsin as very important since it is the only one April 3rd that seemed to be contested and a 3 state sweep might finally stifle Santorum's claims that the delegate math is still workable.
Romney's campaign might as well pour it into Wisconsin to get the win, then look ahead to target Pennsylvania three weeks later.

The endgame is Romney or a brokered convention with Romney having considerable delegate amounts. Either way most likely will have Romney being the candidate (with the strange chance the brokered chooses someone not in the race which would be a disaster IMO).
Again I think its over use but hey, that's just my opinion.
You have to admit though spending 55-1 is sorta obscene and honestly is unfortunate for Romney to have to use that much capital.
Romney has the money, Santorum doesn't. At this point, the Romney campaign is just trying to put this thing to bed. It's getting ridiculous. Santorum is hurting the party and the chances in the general now, just for his own ego driven purposes or whever is keeping him in this. Newt's got a million dollars worth of debt that he is going to need help with, so we will see him become much more accomadating in the coming days and less hateful more than likely.

Yes. These 3 contests on April 3rd are huge.....in large part because there are no contests for 3 whole weeks afterwards.
If Romney gets 3 sizable wins.....Santorum has no chance to regain momentum for 3 whole weeks while the media talks about Romney's sweep and inevitability. That is all the public will hear. And thus it helps the chances that Romney sweeps April 24th. He really doesn't need a sweep on April 24th as long as Pennsylvania is close. Game over on April 3rd.
New polls out today as shown on RCP show Romney's lead eroding somewhat from 13 to now 5-7 points. I guess those gaffes by Romney hurt him a bit. Santorum has also been campaigning more on the ground than Romney this week and picked up some momentum from that LA win last week. Gingrich's campaign being cut also contributed to the tightening most likely.
Well, it seems as if Rasmussen is almost always the outlier which has always showed Romney with bigger leads. However, even that new poll has tightened slightly.
Santorum also has received the endorsements of at least 8 Wisconsin senators and representatives today, which was not factored into all of today's new polls. As for Paul Ryan's endorsement, I think that more people would weigh Walker's endorsement more heavily than his. More people are concerned about the congressional races than the presidential primary in this state. I don't think Walker has endorsed anyone yet, so it should be interesting.
