Michigan And Arizona Primaries Coverage: The Romney 'Abyss' That Wasn't (TheWrap.com / Media Alley)
Let's be honest: Rick Santorum supporters -- and Democrats -- weren't the only ones rooting for a Santorum win in Tuesday's primaries.

HuffPost A reporter for The Economist was handcuffed by police officers at Mitt Romney's campaign victory rally during the Michigan primary Tuesday. Natasha Loder, a Midwest reporter for the magazine, came into conflict with police at the event in Novi, Mich., after she tried to hear Romney's victory speech in-person, instead of in a press filing center. NY Observer / Politicker Loder said she and a group of other reporters were put in a press filing room at the event, when they realized there was a delay in their video feed when they heard Romney taking the stage in another room. She and the other reporters left the filing room and tried to listen to the speech in real-time outside the doors of the main room. Although Loder said the doors had been open all night, she said a security guard posted outside said he would shut them once the reporters began gathering outside. Loder said she asked the guard to speak to someone with Romney's campaign, but they were quickly approached by a police officer who said he could arrest the reporters for trespassing if the guard wanted. Loder refused to leave and was placed in handcuffs by the officer.
