WARREN, Mich. (AP) - Despite embracing Michigan as the heart of his bid to revive his campaign, Republican Mitt Romney was greeted by an anemic crowd Friday as he began his final push for votes in the crucial primary.

No more than 150 people were on hand for his appearance at Macomb Community College's Center for Alternative Fuels, in a space set up for an audience twice that size. Romney delivered an unusually short, 13-minute address, breaking with recent practice and taking no questions from his audience.

While the governor who was born in this state and whose dad served one term as Michigan's governor could conceivably stay in the Republican race for president through Super-Duper-Tuesday on February 5, it's difficult to see why he would.  As a practical businessman, he must see that he's not getting a good return on his investment in this race.  And at present he leads in no polling in any of the early states leading up to February 5's multi-state primary contests.

Romney has already signaled the end is near by pulling his advertising dollars out of both South Carolina and Florida.

As such, it would not be surprising to see Romney drop out of the race shortly after losing here on Tuesday.
