A Romney nomination would have several lasting and serious repercussions.

A split of Conservatives/Tea Party away from the establishment GOP.

A third-party Tea Party candidate running in the fall.

The likelihood of an Obama second term on a 40% plurality.

The end of the GOP as they finish third.

I certainly agree with your list. Mitt Romney's nomination accomplishes the following:

1. provides the man who the fewest of the grassroots GOP base will vote for (let alone donate/work for) and thereby keeps the White House in Obama's hands

2. wipes out any down-ticket boosts to other GOP candidates

3. implodes the GOP in a Whig-reminiscent debacle

4. demoralizes the tea party movement

5. allows MSM/Democrat proxies to morally destroy the LDS during the general election.

Win, win, win, win and win. "Gee whiz, dad- that Alinsky fellow sure is smart," said Mitt Romney.
