Rick Santorum’s campaign believes it has found a way to cut into Mitt Romney’s delegate lead and potentially prevent the former Massachusetts governor from collecting the 1,144 delegates needed to secure the Republican presidential nomination. Santorum’s unorthodox strategy centers on states where delegates are selected at local party conventions, after the popular vote has been held. In those states, such as Washington, where Romney won the popular vote at the caucus, Santorum could still lure delegates to his side because, at the convention, they do not have to follow the results of the popular vote.

we need to find out what Santorum's campaign is smoking to think this will work. Or for that matter, what the Mittster is smoking that makes him think he can beat the sitting president.

This is only proof that Santorum and staff are desperate. Do they really think the voters are so stupid to nominate such a pathetic candidate who would try to pull off such a thing? It appears that he is more interested in helping Obama get elected, because if he really thinks he stands a chance of being the nominee, then he really is not dealing with reality.
