Conservative Group Launches "Dump Romney" Campaign - Rosie Gray, BuzzFeed:
August 8, 2012 - "A group called 'Jews and Christians Together,' which backed Rick Santorum in the Republican primary, is sending a memo to Republican National Convention delegates urging them not to vote for Mitt Romney at the convention, even if they're bound to him....
"A core of Ron Paul supporters had been the only organized Republican opposition to accepting Romney as the nominee, but Paul campaign manager Jesse Benton told BuzzFeed that the memo had nothing to do with them, calling it 'disgusting and highly inappropriate.'
"Instead, it's a brainchild of Steve Baldwin, the former chief of the Council for National Policy, a low-profile, well-connected conservative group. Baldwin said the memo was sent out to 20,000 people in politics in media, as well as RNC delegates.
'"We’re just saying that Romney has so many liabilities that will be exploited by Obama,' Baldwin said in a phone interview. 'I don’t have a problems with Mormons personally, but it is a liability issue' among evangelical voters, Baldwin said.
"Baldwin said that the people who put together the memo are supporters of different primary candidates, including Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich (Baldwin is a Bachmann supporter)."
