THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Republican social conservative Rick Santorum could see an uptick in support during Tuesday's presidential primary in Michigan from an unlikely voting bloc: hardcore Democrats.
Democratic activists and strategists have launched a campaign to push fellow Democrats and independents to vote for Santorum to try to derail the more moderate front-runner Mitt Romney, a Michigan native and the candidate President Barack Obama's campaign least wants to face in the Nov 6 election.
"I think Santorum is completely radioactive and will bring an electoral disaster to the Republicans – he could deliver Obama a landslide," said Michigan Democratic strategist Joe DiSano, who has launched one of the efforts to help Santorum. "We need to focus on the one real challenger to Romney." » | Tuesday, February 28, 2012
