It is you who are either naive, or just simply too dense to understand the difference. Well here, I was there, so I will correct your error;
Reagan Democrats were angry at Carter, so they voted for Reagan in the Primaries AND the General election. Reagan received a very large percentage of them, which is how Reagan won in the last month of the election. But most of those Reagan Democrats, became Republicans and no longer exist
In Santorum’s case, the Democrats who he has so ignorantly pandered to, do not support him, are dedicated Obama supporters and are voting in our primaries for the sole purpose to disrupt our nomination of either Romney or Gingrich. They WANT Santorum to win. Not because they plan do vote for him in the General, but because the believe that Santorum will be by far, the easiest to beat.
It's just that simple. And they may very well make the difference in our primary, if they keep this up.
Thank GOD that most of the really large primaries are closed. So the best that Santorum can do, is force a brokered convention if he squeaks out Illinois.

My worry is that I read him and Bishop Willard pooling their chips for a Romney-Santorum crash and burn ticket.
