You nominate your best conservative and give it a shot.
If you lose you can say you fought the good fight. You didn’t compromise your principles. Nominating another RINO in the case of Romney (but much worse than Bush or McCain), is a disaster for defeat of biblical proportions.
Get ready for four more long years of Chairman Obama. Blame the Washington establishment and no one else. Conservatives can hold their head high knowing they had nothing to do with getting Romney the nomination in the first place.
I agree, NKP.
It’s about priniciple now and I won’t compromise mine by voting for Romney. And yes, we can hold our heads high.
Depressing but, hopefully, we will see a growing number of conservatives in Congress during the remainder of a lame-duck Obama second term.
