Really, calling Romney a bully? Get some skin, Rick.

Democrats aren't voting for Santorum in Michigan because they're "conservative Democrats" and he's "appealing" to him. They're voting for him because they find it laughable that he actually has a shot at the nomination, and they know Obama will destroy him in a General Election.

And how does Rick have to grow some skin? Have you seen your candidate today? He's been crying about Santorum winning Democrats non stop.
Calling him a bully, though? Seriously...

I hope exit polls show what percentage of "Santorum Democrats" plan to vote for Obama in the General Election.

Tmthforu1994: because Mittbot is so electable Roll Eyes
He's no Reagan, but he's certainly more electable than Gingrich or Santorum, for sure.

Winning over Independent voters, like both Paul and Romney did in New Hampshire, is what's going to help us win in November. Not the "conservative Democrats" who voted for Santorum today in Michigan. Considering they'll all be voting for Obama regardless of the GOP nominee, they'll be hindering us instead.

Fact: there is no substantial proof that most Dems voting for Santorum are doing so for electability reasons. As many of us pointed out before, this tactical voting very rarely happens. I'm not saying it doesn't exist but it won't be substantial enough.
There is also no substantial proof that most Dems voting for Santorum are doing so because they actually like and support him.

Hence why I'm looking into reading the exit polls tonight, to see if they confirm what many of us already suspect.
