Romney Wins Michigan After Tight Race 29 Feb 2012 Mitt Romney fended off a vigorous challenge from Rick Santorum in Michigan on Tuesday, narrowly carrying his native state, and won the Arizona primary on a day that revived his candidacy but did not erase the qualms conservatives have raised about his Republican presidential bid. The victory by Mr. Romney in Arizona, which awarded him the state's entire allotment of 29 delegates, was overshadowed by the battle in Michigan, a state steeped in his family's history. The contest with Mr. Santorum highlighted larger concerns surrounding his candidacy, but the win spared his campaign from far greater turmoil.
