Mitt Romney’s “corporations are people” line finally inspires sit-com writers.

Will New York matter to Republicans this time?

If so, that’s good for Romney.

Romney, who didn’t come close to knocking Santorum out of the race in last night’s primaries, despite heavy spending by his campaign and by super PACs on attacks ads, leads Santorum among every category of Republican voter here, especially Republicans who identify themselves as liberal (+14) or moderate (+31).
