“Many Conservatives on here are not voting.....That’s because they are decidedly NOT Conservatives.”

I happen to agree with you. Anyone who does or says ANYTHING that contributes in any measure toward an Obama victory in November is selling out the Republic, IMHO.
He wasn’t my candidate but I will be voting for Romney (even though in my current residential state of Maryland it may make no difference in who picks up the State’s electoral votes). I’ll be voting either early or by absentee ballot so that, on election day, I’ll be free to be up in Pennsylvania as a volunteer helping to ensure that Voter ID provisions are properly complied with & correctly enforced. We ALL need to go “all in” on this election—at all levels whether local, state or federal.
Who knows, maybe part of my contribution this year will be getting my ass kicked by frustrated “voters” as I leave my assigned precinct after the polls have closed. That would be a small price to pay.
This is a perpetual and very hot debate you’ve waded into. Take a risk on Mitt, or make a protest vote. (Nobody here has said vote directly for Barack.) I’m going to the polls with a clothespin: Mitt could be influenced. Obama is as obdurate as a hunk of flint.
