It’s getting to the point where it doesn’t much matter who stays in and who drops out.
The outcome is pretty much set and Willard has already shifted to general election mode (at least to a certain extent).
The question is, what do we as conservatives do next. I’m inclined to 3rd party.

Everyone has to make that decision and I fault no one for the path they decide. For me, I simply hate El presidente more than McRomney. Some feel just the opposite but I figure the Conservatives in the GOP can steer McRomney more than Obomulus and we can primary Willard with Sarah Palin in 2016 if he completely bottoms out-—that would be our 3rd party-—a one-on-one primary battle w/Saracuda in ‘16!
My humble advice is that if you are in a battleground state then do the right thing and vote for Romney who is still better than Obama. However if you are in a state that is certain to go Republican or certain to go democrat then you have the luxury of not voting for President or voting for a third party but in any case you go and vote for Republican candidates for Congress Republicans must at least retain the House and hopefully win the Senate so even if Obama wins re-election his damage would be greatly limited.
It will take a minimum of 4 years to launch a valid replacement party for the GOP. They are too deeply entrenched to take down in just a few months.
The dangerous thing about going 3rd party this election, is obvious. Since this election is THE most critical election we will face in our lifetimes, we have no choice but to win with the party we have in place now. Even with Romney, we will get some relief and also gain seats in the House and Senate and most importantly, we will at least stop the bleeding from 4 years of Obama.
But first, we have to regain control before we can make a major overhaul within this party. We have no other option.

Yeah, because that vote for Perot in 1992 worked out SO WELL.
Do whatever you want. I intend to try to help unseat the Alien Usurper by voting for the gop candidate, Romney or whomever.
