Xzins, my advice to you is that asking to have a serious talk with Free Republic's top leadership team would be a very good idea. I have no idea what they will say as far as practical plans, but I do think Free Republic can play a huge role in a post-nomination campaign against Mitt Romney.
For now my focus is on trying to defeat Romney. I believe in miracles and I understand it will take one to defeat him at this point. I also know that hope is not a strategy, and have outlined some viable (if long shot) strategies elsewhere to do that.
What if Romney wins the nomination? Well, it looks like Jim Robinson has been very clear he won't support Romney even then. Free Republic is probably the largest conservative media operation (and yes, it is media) to take that position so far.
Others may be willing to do so — Rush Limbaugh and David Limbaugh are examples — but so far Free Republic is the only prominent organization to take that stance.
Seeing Mitt Romney's money machine unleashed against Free Republic will not be pretty, but I don't think even Romney is powerful enough to take on Limbaugh — and if he does, he's virtually guaranteeing a loss in November. I think any strategy of opposing Mitt Romney from the right after the nomination has to rely on the use of talk media and the internet, and has to be prepared to suffer some devastating attacks not only from the Democrats and RINOs but also from conservative Republicans furious that fellow conservatives are “helping re-elect Obama.”
As for me, I am not prepared to sign onto any “Plan B” today and want to stay focused on trying to defeat Romney so we don't have to face a “Plan B.” I don't want to think about what I may have to do if Romney is the Republican nominee.
