[PSYCHO-FREEP]

According to exit polls in Wisconsin, a strong 4% were indeed Democrats who crossed over. But they mostly voted for Santorum. They see Santorum as by far, the easiest to beat and there is an actual effort on line, on several Liberal web sites, to get volunteers to vote in our open primaries to manipulate the outcome and also demoralize and disrupt our election.

They also had success in Michigan, Alabama and Mississippi. Any open primary is vulnerable to their prank voting effort.

Are you sure they're not Dems who are social conservatives? Until things "settled down" after Roe v. Wade, Democrat pols were more likely to be social conservatives than Republicans were. Lord knows, GOPe still has no use for social conservatives. There are lots of Dems who are socially conservative (I wouldn't hazard a guess as to numbers) who remain Dems -- partly because of historical reasons (like family tradition) and partly because the GOPe doesn't offer an attractive alternative.
