Let's think beyond the short term.
If Obama wins he will undoubtedly stack the supreme court against conservatives, initiate numerous marxists policies like Obamacare and take over of large segments of the economy which may be irreversible.
If Romney wins we will have a better chance of putting the economy on a strong footing AND set up a strong social conservative, Paul Ryan in the catbird seat to succeed Romney as POTUS.
Plus it will force Romney to go RIGHT over the long term.
