In a general election, Conservatives will not be hamstrung like they are in the primary. I believe, as Reagan did, that the conservatives are the majority in this country.
If a third party is not successful, it will still serve the purpose of blocking the GOP, which is fine with me. It suits me to actively participate in a 3rd party rather than simply writing in a protest vote.

No we werent. there were conservatives on my primary ballot and I voted for one.

You have great confidence in belief in things that arent true.
Self identified Conservatives in polls are usually 30-33% of the electorate. The good news is that is more than the liberal self-identification (21% or so). The bad news is that it is still below a majority.

Demcorats are the ones in power who threaten to take it all in November. For most conservatives, it seems more prudent to try to block a left-wing Obama administration.
Third partys are anti-successful - they help the other side enormously, by making it easier for an extremist leftist to win.
