I can’t say I trust Romney on judges but we would have leverage with him. If there are any vacancies on the Supreme Court during the next 4 years, the worst he might give us would be another Sandra Day O’Connor “moderate,” whereas Obama would pick hardline leftists in the Kagan mold...or worse. Particularly in his first term, a President Romney would have to listen to conservatives to get their support in 2016, whereas Obama would be even more defiant and hostile than he has been so far.
That is the first and only convincing bit of logic that I've seen, for giving Romney ones vote in the general.
Well done.
