So, what’s the definitive answer to how conservatives should vote in the race for ‘12 POTUS, during the November general election?
Great idea! Then they can do what happened in MA in 2010 — reelect the rabidly Marxist governor even though Deval Patrick had only 37% approval before a third candidate ran that year.
I’m a Conservative, and a registered Republican. However, the GOP has pretty much left me. I do not at all like Mitt Romney, I utterly despise John Boehner, and Mitch McConnell is pretty worthless. I know I am not alone.
Overall a guy who has no concrete solutions but who knows how to enrich himself at conservatives' expense. Don't hold you breath waiting for this guy to offer useful concrete advice.
If you don’t have enough votes to take over the GOP you don’t have enough to win.
I think our plan for the future is to destroy the gop-e and make them go third party or retire.
The conservatives should be serving notice to the elites with this election that they are gonna get kicked out one way or another!
Either way we get a liberal in the White House.
Does anyone really believe that Romney will govern under a conservative banner?
Under a GOP banner? Yes.
But under a conservative banner? No.
GOP does not equal conservative anymore.
It’s my impression that you vote republican this time around, but immediately begin the 3rd party option to be viable for 2016. It is now or never. Just like the republicans booted out the whigs in about a 6 year run up fo ever-increasing wins, the tea party should organize in each state and we should encourage candidates to run for president. Every cycle, we hear it cannot be done, but if we pick up even more wins this time around, we need to go for it. As for the Constitution party, we need a viable candidate. I’m not sure you could call Virgil Goode that. I’ve read some things that seem downright weird. By viable, I mean electable, not somebody who spouts a barrage of stuff but sounds incoherent at times.

At some point, I think the establishment Democrats and Republicans will merge into one middle-of-the-road party that appeals to the mushy middle, the Democrat extremists will go Green, and the rest of us will end up in some Constitutionalist party.
However, this is not going to happen in one election cycle. Conservative candidates who hold no fealty to the Republican Party need to be elected starting at the local level. Once established there, then at the state level. Finally, start making inroads into the federal level. Only after several successful election cycles with increasing gains at the federal level would we have a hope of fielding a successful presidential candidate.
But that’s a long time away. Who are we supporting locally to start this process?
