"In a few short days, Republicans from across this country will decide more than their party's nominee. They will decide the very future of our party and the conservative coalition that Ronald Reagan built. Conservatives can no longer afford to stand on the sidelines in this election, and Governor Romney is the candidate who will stand up for the conservative principles that we hold dear," said Senator Santorum. "Governor Romney has a deep understanding of the important issues confronting our country today, and he is the clear conservative candidate that can go into the general election with a united Republican party." -- Rick Santorum"a guy who has gone through that pressure cooker, who has developed a passion, who understands why he's a conservative and understands the issues, how they weave together. Santorum added that conservatives are "about traditional values and a traditional way of American life" and that Mitt Romney "understands that, it's not just in his head anymore, it's in his heart."
"I like him. The time I spent with him, he was a gentleman. He's very sincere." -- Rick Santorum
That's the way it is.
Now, to deny Romney the nomination ~ first, get a place to meet. Second, get enough delegates to attend the meeting that Romney can't get the nomination.
Restart the party.
Presumably we can do this lawfully.
Santorum will be one of the prime time speakers at the convention. No Newt, no Palin, no Scott Walker, no Jim Demint.
