I understand your angst, but if you think any of the Republican candidates, including Romney, would be worse for our country than Barak Obama, you need to think again.
Seriously.
Even if our candidate turns out to be a place holder or a disappointment in aggressive pursuit of conservative goals, it will be better than 4 more years of Obama.
We have both unemployment, a bad economy and inflation all combined under this president, who is nothing but a devout left-wing socialist who caters to the nuttiest elements of our society.
Just putting a cardboard guy up there for the next four years would be better than Obama.
If you don’t like the top of the ticket, vote it anyway, at the same time concentrating on the local congress races to insure a bigger conservative majority in the House and gaining the Senate.
That alone won’t stop Obama, as some think, because he ignores the law and the constitution and figures out ways to get around them.
I think Perry would have been a great president. I think Newt would be a good one (and interesting). I think Santorum would be a decent president.
I think Romney would be the worst choice but one thousand times better than Obama.
Sitting this one out isn’t an option with me. Hope you end up feeling the same way.

I’m in agreement with all of this, and I certainly don’t plan on sitting this out in November, I never said that. I’ve voted for the Republican nominee since I was old enough to vote in 1988.
What I’m saying is I can’t find one single thing to get me motivated in the least bit to try to get Romney elected. The guy offers absolutely ZERO to the conservative cause. Which is why I want this race to continue to a brokered convention and I want someone other than Romney. And until that is no longer a possibility, I see no reason to unite behind Romney.
One other thing-if I thought Romney was the most electable, that would be something to consider as well, but I just don’t see that. Team Obama will tear him to shreds during the general-and all they really gotta do is run commercials of Romney debating himself. At best, I see Mitt as having about the same chance as Newt or Santorum of getting elected. Given they’re about equal in electability, I see no reason not to hold out for a more conservative candidate.
