Maybe, but if you're gonna die, I say "die with your boots on." If you make the attempt and it doesn't go your way, nobody can blame you for not trying.
At the day's end (or End of Days, whichever comes first) I won't be the one wearing the albatross around MY neck; I made the call, I gave Santorum the heads-up and told his campaign which way the Conservative wind is blowing. He will do whatever he chooses to do, but if he endorses Romney, it WON'T be on account of my failure to ask him to do otherwise.
I realize it may be a long shot, but it's the ONLY shot we've got right now.
So, are you gonna take that shot, or just roll over?
