Mitt Romney said Rick Santorum sought to “kidnap” the Republican presidential nomination process by encouraging Democrats to vote in today’s Michigan primary.
Romney is trying to avoid the embarrassment of losing in the state where he was born and his father was a popular three-term governor. Santorum is attempting to prove he’s a legitimate front-runner who can win in bigger states and not just generate a short-lived surge in an unsettled campaign.
