Why would a Reagan Democrat-they don't exist anymore. If they did, they would support folks like Chris Christie or John Huntsman. Reagan Democrats were white working class voters in the Rust Belt states who opposed school busing, affirmative action, civil rights for women/minorities. They believed that the government was taking "their country" away and giving it to blacks, the poor, other minorities, and people on the left-hand side of the culture war.
It is interesting that Santorum talks about Reaganism and appealing to Reagan Democrats-also known as white blue collar workers who were racially and cultural opposed to the government policies aimed at boosting economic equality and social standards for blacks, the poor, women, and minorities (bigots). Reagan signed into law the Earned Income Tax credit which was wealth distribution to help low income people. Reagan also bailed out Chrysler in the 80's. Santorum is clueless.
@lmankj Methinks he is well aware that there are three people there next to him. It seems that either he is merely agreeing with Gingrich and Rommney about points they brought up or he is intentionally ignoring Paul.
Bwuahaha, like hell you are better, Santorum! You TOO supported the mandate you lying sack of shit! (proof: articles.mcall [ dot ] com/1994-05-02/news/2979474_1_cooper-grandy-health-reform-employees-premiums/2
It should be santorum - he's the real deal.

Look, they even have AIPAC agent Blitzter (look it up) as the "moderator." What a joke.
Reagan Democrats will support Ron Paul, not war mongering loon Sanitarium.
