“the best thing that can happen to conservatives in 2012 is that Romney is narrowly defeated by Obama while both the Senate and House go solid Republican.”

One thing you’re forgetting is the U.S. Supreme Court. There are four elderly judges who may leave during the next four years.

I'm not forgetting them at all. Show me some evidence that Mitt Romney has any intention of nominating a conservative to the Supreme Court. Start by examining the individuals he nominated to the Massachusetts Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court is lost to us the second Romney wins the nomination. Our only hope now is to find a way to limit their power legislatively.

Well, yes it would have been better if the GOP had been able to find a reasonable candidate who could contest Obama, but since they didn't all we're left with is hoping that all those four hang tough - unless you expect president etch-a-sketch to not stab us all in the back with an O'Connor.

Plus, in 2010 Obama was dealt a terrible slap in the face. He has ignored the will of the people. It will get worse if he wins again: he will be a lame duck president and can do whatever he wants, especially with executive orders.

And by the way a strong senate helps there too!

More than any other reason, that is why I am ABO in 2012. I do not want Anita Dunn & Van Jones nominated to SCOTUS. Or, more Sotomayor's and Kagan's.
