Romney is crying about Dems crossing over to vote for Santorum, but he did the same thing in 1993!

In the past, Romney has admitted that he voted for Paul Tsongas in Massachusetts in the 1992 Democratic primary (at a time when he was an independent). Asked how that differed from Santorum's efforts to draw Democrats here, Romney said it was "very different" when running for president.

"In my case, I was certainly voting against the Democrat who I thought was the person I thought would be the worst leader of our nation. In this case, as I recall, it was Bill Clinton. I wanted someone other than Bill Clinton,"
he told reporters during in his first news conference in several weeks.

He could have dummied up a robocall to the Dems, urging them to vote for Romney because Obama's team has said he's easiest to beat (which they have said in the past, but they weren't considering Santorum back then--Santorum is actually easiest to beat, because he's not a flip flopping liar, he's just batshit crazy).

If he had thought of it first, he would have done it.

The guy is a politically naive nitwit.
