There is still time to stop mitt. But it means throwing all conservative support to ONE CANDIDATE. FR is a big conservative website. JimRob can have some influence if he wants. But I do think Santorum as evidenced by polls and votes is the closest to beating Romney.
If Gingrich dropped out, we could stop Romney.
Since he won’t, which shows you his devotion to his country, the only way to stop Romney would be for a grassroots public urging for all Gingrich supporters to come to Papa and vote Santorum.
Since they won’t, we will get Romney.
"I have no idea why you’re ragging on me. I have no real problems with Santorum, just prefer Gingrich because I think he’s a more experienced, more accomplished conservative and I especially like what he accomplished as Speaker and his more aggressive plans to Newter our out of control federal government. You can rag on me until hell freezes over, but I’m not changing. And I couldn’t care less about who supports him." ~ Jim Robinson
If FR had a lot of “influence”, as opposed to having a lot of use which it certainly does, Romney wouldn’t be in the race, and Gingrich would have swept Super Tuesday.
I wouldn’t count on FR being able to actually coalesce the broader conservative movement around one candidate, and it should be clear that nothing more could be done to stop Romney than is already being tried (my personal opinion is that there WOULD be a way for the site to better stop Romney, or at least there WAS, but that the approach taken was not the optimal one. That’s water under the bridge, and pure speculation on my part since I can’t see the future or alternate realities).
