Just one question: How? ... I'd like to hear one practical and legal way to force a President to pay attention to people that he doesn't much like.

We'll deal with that when the time comes. Yes, we may not have a satisfying answer to that very valid question. Right now, however, the issue is ensuring that we don't instead end up with a President he11-bent on eviscerating the Constitution, stacking the Supreme Court with Communists, ... and otherwise making it impossible or pointless to send as many real conservatives to House & Senate as possible. I'd rather a President who merely doesn't like us, than a President who sees us as the opposition in a literal & hot class/race war.

"We'll deal with that when the time comes."

Great plan.
In other words, there is no way to do it.

"....stacking the Supreme Court with Communists"

On the bright side, the most likely ones that will be replaced are already lefties, so short of some devastatingly bad luck, that ought to be a 'break even'.

And don't forget, that even 0bama can't make a Supreme Court Justice without the Senate, so THERE is where we need a preponderance of Conservatives.

And if we get a preponderance of real conservatives, with some gonads, in the House, they can tie up the purse strings so that 0bama cant actually get much done.

Don't put your hopes and efforts into a weak vessel like Romney. Get good people into Congress

First: The entire ABO viewpoint is based on the false premise that Americans cannot survive four years of Obama. The lack of faith in the American people is astounding. The government may be corrupt, but the people will resist. We the people will survive an Obama.

Second: The ABO crowd assumes that Romney will be a lot better than an Obama. The truth is a Romney will institutionalize many, if not most, of Obama's dalliances. For example, will Romney cut back the EPA and take away its dictatorial powers - don't count on it. Will he really get rid of Obamacare - His own stated position is to repeal and replace. Replace with what - a single payer system, which is exactly the ultimate goal of Obama and the far left?

Third: The ABO group assumes that a Republican Congress can force a Romney to toe the line. History, however, does not support this position. Typically, tea drinkers become kool-aid drinkers and support the party line.

Fourth: ABO's think that a Romney will save the Supreme Court from going left. Once again, history (both that of Romney personally and Rino Presidents in general do not support this conclusion. Ask yourself, who appointed Earl Warren?

This country can resist a buffoon Obama, but with Romney, resistance will be futile. To paraphrase another poster on a different thread: I fear with Romney we will only be getting a smarter Obama.
