Romney supporters are making a big mistake when they attack Santorum's "Satan Speech".

I grew up in suburban Detroit. What's worse, I grew up in a Baptist fundamentalist church. The message about Satan plotting to take over the "good and decent United States" was driven home every Sunday morning and Sunday night. And there is a huge network of these churches all over the state, especially in the SE part. If they continue to ridicule him for that, they rick hurting Romney where he is doing best, and potentially alienate them in November.

It makes me very angry when preachers try to use Satan to frighten people into doing what the Preacher wants. They are just hucksters IMO
