“However, since virtually no one on this board seriously believes Romney is a real improvement, how does a vote for him advance the conservative cause? “

First, that’s hyperventilating. Of course he is an improvement, in that he is much less bad than the only other current alternative.

And, it won’t advance conservatism - it will help make sure it doesn’t get bombed back into the stone age, and allow us to continue to work toward a more conservative future!

I don't hyperventilate. I work too hard for that. Take a good long look around the board and see the relative level of support for Romney.

And, it won’t advance conservatism

Thank you. That's my point. A vote for Romney won't advance conservatism. In fact, it will regress the movement in terms of its most important objective, which is reclaiming the Republican Party for its base.
