No ... that is a naive and simplistic line of reasoning. As I said, the best move is to continue doing what is gaining us ground. And that it is supporting genuine conservatives. Romney is no asset in the bigger game. He's a queen on the board I'd happily sacrifice to achieve checkmate. But that requires advancing and positioning our own pieces for the task while leaving him vulnerable. I will advance and position our true assets to the best of my ability.

And to do so with the best of our ability requires that we TAKE as much as CONTROL as we can WHILE we CAN.

This means a Romney WIN. He will gain us the control. WE can hold his feet to the fire, his and every rino representative and senator.

As for picking a leftist Supreme Court Judge. Let him try.

Sun Tzu said "if ten times the enemy's strength, surround them; if five times, attack them; if double, be divide them; if equal, engage them; if fewer, evade them; if weaker, avoid them."

You believe we have ten time's the opponent's strength, that we can hold their feet to the fire, that we can direct the agenda, and thwart any leftward slide.

Were that so, FRiend, Romney would not even be our candidate today.

We have not reached that position of strength yet. Even our attempts to hold the line during the budget standoff failed us.

If we continue the course we've set, gaining in strength with a genuine conservative coalition, we will acquire the goal you desire. But to plan a battle based upon a presumption of superior strength where it does not exist is to guarantee failure and set back the entire war effort.

Our team is ready, willing, trained, and sensitive to the type of battle waged by Obama and his supporters. Be calm and willing to let them do as they've learned and been instructed. Give them aid and add to their ranks as possible. Resist the urge to give authority over them to one that does not share the conservative agenda of his own free will.
