I would say good luck. You don’t to convince committed conservatives - you’re going to have to convince Republican voters who are not Freepers. They take a different view of it from us on here.
The committed voters are the ones who turn out for primaries and caucuses. Romney does have his work cut out for him in appealing to them. Plus he's a known quantity. The way he wins is by destroying his opponents and that is a very risky strategy.

If it was up to freepers, Fred would have won the nomination in 2008, closely followed by Duncan Hunter.
There it is in a nut shell. I know I catch myself in the process of thinking that all Republicans, especially those who consider themselves conservatives, think like the general population of F.R.
I believe that F.R. has a little more than 300,000 registered users and not all of whom are what I would call, "active members", that's a big number but not so big when compared to the electorate of the country and we, as a group, are probably farther to the right than many who consider themselves conservative.
