This will help nominate Romney. Split the vote, and he will be the nominee. Period. Seen this one before, and the conservatives live on just long enough to split the South Carolina vote, and let Mitt in. We never learn.

Yup, but it gets a little worse. By nominating mittens, you increase the chance of a third party challenge by Ron Paul. So the gop not only gets mittens as standard bearer, it loses the general election, too.
Only way I see the gop winning the general is if Ron Paul and mittens work an arrangement.
So who should conservatives unite behind if not Santorum? Your analysis is of course sound.
