On the contrary, they would have a tougher time battling Romney, especially if he wins in a landslide. That is why I will be voting for a plurality split in the popular vote at the top of the ticket; I'll be voting third party, and a whole lot of disillusioned Democrats will probably be doing the same if they vote at all this time (judging by reader comments at MSM sites when pro-Obama stories show up, and judging by the conversations I hear from Democrat friends).
Romney would make conservatives a neutered minority because he'd unite with moderate Republicans and Democrats to push his agenda, and if he wins with a landslide, he and the GOP-e and progressives on both sides of the aisle would certainly act upon it as a "powerful mandate for Romney's progressive style of governing!" -- and the numbers would back them up.
I'm voting for a plurality to deny a mandate to either winner, knowing that Obama has only a fraction of the support he had four years ago. Voting third party to deny the winner a mandate is a good risk in 2012 because the risk of Obama getting even 50% is practically nil, due to his loss of support, and because the risk of Romney steamrolling conservatives if he gets a landslide is virtually certain.

Tea partiers in Congress would have a MUCH harder time opposing Romney than they would opposing and DOMINATING a defensive, weakened, vulnerable Obama elected on a thin plurality.

ok, I see some of your points...but what makes you think that

1 - the moderate/RINO repubs wouldn't work with Obozo, and

2 -- What does Obama have to worry about in a second term? Weak? Vulnerable?

To what?

give Obama a second term and he can pull the plug on the life support that our republic is limping along on...doing far more damage in his second term...damage that would be irreparable.

Because they will have just seen the moderate RINO candidate given the heave-ho in no undertain terms, and they won't want to be next. A Romney loss would motivate them to move right in order to save their own skins.

2 -- What does Obama have to worry about in a second term? Weak? Vulnerable? To what?

Vulnerable to the lack of support from those within his own party who see that he is a pariah with whom association poses the real risk of alienating the Democrats who rejected Obama at the ballot box. It's clear that Obama's support is ailing and that many former supporters loath him now. Also, Obama would be vulnerable to a Republican-dominated Congress that will fight him every step of the way and who, if Obama gets a plurality because he lacks this year even 50% of the votes, will be backed up by hard numbers proving that Obama lacked resoundingly a mandate in the popular vote, that the majority of Americans voted "against" him. This kind of Obama scenario would EMPOWER conservatives in every way.

Give Obama a second term and he can pull the plug on the life support that our republic is limping along on...doing far more damage in his second term...damage that would be irreparable.

Folks said that four years ago, and two years ago with predictions that Obama would "outlaw" the midterm elections. With respect, FRiend, that sentiment smacks of panic., and panic is the path to mistakes.

Hey Abundy! I agree with every bit of that my FRiend.

Here's why I will take the same course of action.

OBAMA'S DISATEROUS FIRSTS AS PRESIDENT

We simply have to route these vipers out! *As Andy JAckson would have said) and at all levels. House, Senate, White House, etc. I believe we're going to do it too.

Take care and BZ!
