The stakes are very high, particularly for Romney. A failure to achieve anything other than the top spot in the state where his dad was governor for three terms could prove to be a dramatic momentum killer -- enabling Santorum to bolster his argument that Romney is far from the presumptive GOP nominee.

Romney has at least once framed himself as the underdog in his home state.
"I think I can show that I can fight real hard and come from behind and I think the people as they're focused on my campaign and my candidacy and my plan to get people working again,” he said.
The latest Mitchell-Rosetta Stone poll out Monday showed Santorum had pulled into the lead, 37 percent to Romney's 35 percent. Newt Gingrich, who hasn't campaigned in Michigan was pulling 9 percent, neck-and-neck with Ron Paul at 8 percent.
