Rick Santorum gave a speech to his supporters at the Amway Grand Hotel in Grand Rapids.
He said his campaign put up a good fight in his opponent's backyard.
"The people of Michigan looked into the hearts of the candidates in Michigan, and all I have to say is I love them back," said Santorum.
NPR's Don Gonyea characterized the speech as a concession speech even though he didn't formally congratulate his opponent in the speech. Santorum could pick up Michigan delegates depending on how votes in Michgian's 14 congressional districts shake out.
