The problem with your premise is that Romney is as bad if not worse than Obama. They both are liberal and would destroy the country. I say go for a guy who can fix it. Either Sarah Palin or Virgil Goode are those people. Romney will not fight for what is right especially if we have a Republican House and Senate. If we have President Goode than we have the best of all three parts of government with a True constitutionalist with a Republican House and Senate. That is our best option and CAN happen.
They won’t win. We have what we have, Romney. Goode or Palin have no chance. Are you delusional? I hate Romney is the candidate, these other guys are less likely than ron paul. Like Mark Levin said, I’ll vote for an orange juice can. Quit attacking me and look at reality. Romney or Obama. That’s our choice.
The problem with your premise is the number of known, respected conservatives who will take a different position, including in all likelyhood every candidate you have supported up until now (Goode excepted, clearly since he will run in the general election).
At least Gingrich stayed in the race, but so far, it hasn't been good for him. Probably doesn't help him that people are jumping ship to a 3rd-party.
