Then why are the liberal organizations like the Daily Kos, Huffington Post, and Democrat Strategists been getting out the Dem vote for Santorum? This is a FACT.

They voted for Santorum in Michigan and Ohio to stop Romney.

Santorum was only polling at 24% going into the election yesterday. I would be interested to see the final data on how many registered Dems crossed over, but I’ll bet that figure was at least 10% and they had their strategically picked candidate, Santorum.

Don’t misunderstand where I’m coming from. I would vote for Rick if he were the nominee, but this vote yesterday by crossover Dems is an indication that they think Rick is weak.

First of all, those organizations don't necessarily have any support in these particular states much less enough to turn the vote.

Secondly, why would they want to stop Romney? They totally have him beat and know it.

I think the reason Rick & Newt picked up so much support in the 11th hour was the candidate forum in AL. Romney pretty much said he didn't have time for their little hillbilly affair and (thanks in part to Freepers) it ended up being televised. Romney hadn't counted on that, was told it wouldn't be televised if he wasn't in it. Anyway, I know if I lived in AL or even MS and got dissed like that it would influence my vote.
