It will be what we make of it because the chances of Romney actually being elected are pretty much nil.
Then they will just roll over and die.
Bingo. His religion will be vetted thoroughly by a liberal media just itching for some Jeremiah Wright payback.
No. He has done enough damage already.
I don’t care about his religion. I’ve just paid attention to how Romney has run and he doesn’t seem to have any workable strategy to take the white house.
Yeah! He has two chances- slim and none. And slim just walked out the door.
First, even assuming everything said in the article is correct, those Republicans criticized for being concerned about public opinion (Boehner, etc.) will remain concerned about it because they'll be thinking ahead to the 2014 and 2016 elections. So the dynamic that supposedly would be improved by an Obama win won't improve.
Second, if Obama wins, they'll be recriminations going both ways. As much as those conservatives who prefer Obama to Romney may want to believe they are the "only" conservatives, there will be plenty of other conservatives who will blame the "I'll take my ball and go home" crowd for an Obama victory.
Third, Obama will almost certainly be able to seize liberal control of the Supreme Court, which will have consequences that can't be undone at the next Presidential election.
Oh, and fourth, and Obama win might well result in voting/union, etc. laws being changed to the point where future electoral victories by conservatives become structurally impossible.
The only people who "win" by Obama getting reelected are leiberals, and those conservatives who would rather claim rhetorical victories than help the country.
You may not care about his religion but imagine if the liberal media spent every night slamming Black Liberation Theology in 2008.
Now, replace “Black Liberation Theology” with “Mormonism” and “2008” with “2012.”
Good points but what’s your plan if Romney loses? Hopefully, it will be to demand that Republicans finally fight.

Just as nothing succeeds like winning, nothing fails like losing. Anyone who thinks they will get a more conservative party by losing is completely wrong. You will see the party move in the direction of being MORE moderate (not less) if we don’t win this year.
I expect any number of threads like this before election day, all from the “my candidate didn’t win so I’m going to kick and scream and bang the rail of my playpen” wing of the party.
You might as well append “I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message” to every one of them.
That is the plan. Romney is suppose to lose. Just like McCain did. McCain, the traitor knew what his job was and that was to lose. I am sure a lot of votes got lost during the counting.
Get back over the fence and pick that cotton, boy.
No they won't.
Where is the "Tea Party" now?
No they won't.
Where is the "Tea Party" now?
This is more about making the best of a bad situation. If Romney actually wins, I will be shocked.
Seriously, though, where does all of this lead? The lesser of two evils argument has consistently yielded two evils greater than the previous two. Follow that to its logical conclusion.
I understand your logic but.... Mitt Romney?? After all that Obama has done??
Like I said. Four years of Carter woke us up. Four years of Obama has not. The nightmare will continue, in all likelihood.
There has been a surprising amount of progress at the state level since Obama was elected.
