RESTON, VA - FEBRUARY 10: Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney addresses the Northern Virginia Technology Council and the Consumer Electronics Association during a breakfast February 10, 2012 in Reston, Virginia. He discussed his plan for jobs and how technology and innovation can spur the nation's economic growth. (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)

Because of how Michigan apportions its delegates — two to the winner of each congressional district and two more to the winner of the statewide vote — Mitt Romney won the exact same number of the state's delegates as Rick Santorum yesterday (fifteen), despite beating him in the popular vote by a little over 3 percent.
