My biggest nightmare is that Romney and Palin (or similar candidates) split the anti-Obama vote, and he squeaks back in.

My more immediate fear is that multiple conservative candidates will divy up the base so much that a RINO like Romney can take the same path to the nomination that McCain took in 2008. I don't see anything fixed with problems such as the winner-take all primaries in NJ and NY and the open primaries in too many other states. A divided conservative base will open the door.

My more immediate fear is that none of the conservative candidates will decide to run. That gives me cold sweats.
