Will Obama's reelection be good for conservatives? No, it will be horrible.

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.

Good points but what’s your plan if Romney loses? Hopefully, it will be to demand that Republicans finally fight.

If he is elected he WILL stuff SCOTUS with libaral justices. That is what the left is hoping for... and what SOROS and ilk have been paying for.

The left will get what they see as possible since we LEFT obama win in the last presidential election. Yes our side LET the LEFT win.

I do not know who it will be for our side and very hopefully NOT Romney, but last time many voted for them selves and set obama to win. Logic and dedication to our country should guide our votes, and your vote will make an impact for decades.

Think about that, and vote accordingly. Work and contribute for who you want to be the candidate on the right, but do not vote for the left when the time comes to put up your stand.

Now personally, I think Palin/CAIN or Palin/West or Newt/West is/are who I would prefer on our side, but I will vote SCOTUS first and foremost. That is NOT obama.
