RebelPundit: According to a Michigan Republican State Committee (MRSC) member, Romney backers in statewide Republican leadership roles, including the governor and attorney general, pushed for an open Michigan primary. These open primary rules allow voters to vote in either party’s primary without declaring any party affiliation.
Romney today is bemoaning the possibility of Democrats influencing then outcome of today’s election. He should recall it was his own prominent establishment Republican supporters across Michigan who made this possible.
Not to mention, there were no complaints when this tactic aided Mitt in the New Hampshire primary, as Santorum explained today:
Did you ask [Romney] whether when 53% of the people in NH who voted, who were not Republican, was that kidnapping the process? He didn’t seem to complain about it then. That’s what bullies do. When you hit them back, they whine.
