Well, since a massive defeat seems assured, perhaps this is the year Conservatives field and promote a third-party option.

Based on polling data (latest polling data shows Romney being destroyed by Obama in Virginia and Ohio), the opportunity to make a real statement has arrived. Clearly, the “best” the GOP seems to be able put forth, in a country of 310 million people, is the likes of Romney?

Previously, I`d believed a third-party presence would destroy an already-slim chance of defeating Obama, but with the flame of that hope already flickered out with Mittens “leading” the charge, why not make that move now and put a real candidate on the national stage? To be sure, Obama will win big, but he`s will anyway with Romney as the GOP nominee.

The GOP, by its own actions, is going the way of the Whigs. How much longer must that dying horse be fed our $ when it no longer can even get itself up off the ground?

This is what the conservatives need to do if Romney is the nominee.

Coalesce around an actual Tea-Party conservative this election season. This will accomplish two things:

1. Fire a warning shot across the bow of the GOP warning them if they don't stop the games, their end is in site.
2. Start the process of setting up a viable challenge to the GOP in 2016 if the GOP-E decide not heed the warning.
