If Romney is the nominee, it takes Obamacare off the table. Romney can not attack the unpopular Obamacare because Romney operatives visited the White House a few times teaching Obama operatives about how to create mandated health care, without any limits on health insurance premiums.

A more likely scenario, one not involving a three man race - is that once Romney secures the GOP nomination - the MSM will start a full throated “What do Mormons REALLY believe?” campaign wondering aloud “Can the GOP really vote for someone who thinks Jesus and Satan are brothers?”, etc, etc, etc.

In the guise of exploring GOP intolerance - they will conduct a scorched Earth campaign against Romney making him out to be an absolute loon and a kook for believing a second rate conman with rather wackadoo theology.

Any impression of conservatism Romney may give while campaigning will go out the window the instant he is elected.

He will cater to the political philosophy of the N.E. urban quadrant, only marginally different from the democrats.

"... it is simply beyond question that many disgusted Tea Partiers and other outraged conservatives would vote for Ron Paul."

The TEA Party folks will not vote for Ron Paul. There are other issues motivating The TEA Party folks than just the fiscal irresponsibility and socialism of Obama and his Democrats. As a conservative I will not vote for Mitt Romney, period! If Romney is nominated, I believe he will lose to Obama. The conservative minded people in the Republican Party have had enough of RINOS like Romney and McCain. If it's to be Obama again or a statist RINO collaborator like Romney, then let it be Obama. I won't be voting for either of them. I pray that the nation can survive another four years of Democrat Party communism lite.

He doesn’t have to worry about losing to Obama. The Hermanator will take care of that.

I doubt that Ron Paul will run as a third party candidate unless he thought that party had a chance of displacing the GOP down the road. The likelihood is that the current campaign is being waged to build the libertarian Republican movement. The torch will be passed to Rand Paul after this election.

I still have memories of Romney`s senate campaign. If Ted Kennedy, fer Pete`s sake, could whup his butt in a debate, Romney hasn`t got a chance against Obama. Obama can fake sincerity a lot better than Romney, who comes off as an increbile phony in the public appearances I`ve seen. After seeing Romney over the years, I simply don`t believe a word he says.

Nominate a strong conservative (albeit an imperfect one) and no one in his or her right mind will cast a protest vote for Ron Paul

Precisely.
