Not a laughing matter, IMO. Romney will split things again so that some other RINO beside him gets clear sailing.
I don't believe that you phrased your statement quite right. Romney won't split the vote, Conservatives will split the vote. Romney was the GOP's best choice in the previous race. But, many conservatives could not get past the fact that he is a Morman. So, instead, they chose a worn-out old RHINO, aka John McCain. The conservatives (of which I am one, just not one of the stupid one’s)did themselves in this past go around. Think they will ever learn? Maybe, but don't get your hopes up...
