Why I Switched to Santorum
Republican voters in Arizona explain how they fell for Rick.
By David Weigel
Three months ago, Public Policy Polling asked Republican primary voters whom they liked. Three percent of them chose Rick Santorum. This week, PPP asked again. Thirty-three percent of Republicans planned on voting for Santorum, putting him one hot breath away from Mitt Romney.
Who are these people, and why did they switch to Rick? I interviewed voters outside a Santorum speech in Tucson to find out.
