Those that talk of a “convention coup” so to speak ignore the people that actually voted in Republican primaries for Romney and made him the republican nominee. And a convention “coup” just strengthens Obama by rejecting votes cast in these primaries and making the GOP look inept. Romney is the nominee. Period. It may be hard to accept but it's the truth. These same people that said “just wait, Romney will never get enough delegates in the primaries” and he got them sooner then expected. Now some of these same people predict a convention coup. Not going to happen.
No, actually, Romney is NOT the nominee until the floor vote at the convention. Why do you think the lame-stream media is holding back on the slime machine?
Unless, of course, the GOP changes rules again mid-stream. And they have done that a lot recently, so I sorta expect it.
I will never vote for a pro-abortion, anti-gun, big government liberal.

Amen. It's obvious.
Likewise, I think a convention coup is unlikely and inadvisable. No one likes Romney, but we realize that the alternative is far worse. Think about it—in 92 Clinton beat GHWB by 4%, with Perot garnering 19%. If not for Perot, we would have never had Clinton, probably a different nominee than Dole in 96, and no GWB in 2000. True, the Republican takeover in 94 may not have been as drastic, but we would have had a RINO with a conservative congress. The one fly in the ointment would have been 4 more years of Quayle as VP, who had no shot at the Presidency. Perhaps a Gingrich or Delay would have run in 96. The events of the past 2 decades could have been much different. As much as it pains us, and as nauseating as it is, we need to get behind Romney and oppose Obama with all we’ve got.
