Maybe a RINO and a Dem could split the liberal vote, and a conservative could win. (Assuming the RINO gets dumped by the party and runs as an independent....)

Rinos are loyal republicans. This never happens. More often than not, it is the sore loser "conservative" who bolts and runs as an independent. This is how Mary Kilroy-D beat Steve Stivers-R in Ohio's 15th district (Deb Pryce-R retired) in 2008.
