You left out the fourth option - Vote for Romney, Obama still wins.
The difference between my 3 options and what you call a "4th" is that the first 3 options guarantee Obama's 2nd term. They are, in truth, non-action on the voter's part. What you call the "4th," on the other hand, is taking some real action to prevent a 2nd term.
I don't like Romney at all, and I know his candidacy is nothing but settling for 3rd-rate goods. But Obama is out to remake this nation into something he and Bill Ayers envision. I cannot idly stand by.

Sorry, but the real actions have already been done. The GOP-E already trashed the concept of party loyalty in 2010. And stood back and allowed Romney to destroy any alternative. Scorched-earth politics does not lend itself to party unity, and especially when the person doing the scorching could never break 30 percent in polling until all other candidates were eliminated.

And what to expect from a President Romney? He still extolls Romneycare to this day. He supports TARP. He would forge a coalition of RINOs and Dems to circumvent the Tea Party. I see plenty of negatives with a Romney presidency as well - so the question has to be asked, would a Romney win represent a serious setback in long-term Tea Party and conservative efforts to wrest control of the GOP from the RINOs that trashed the party brand last decade? I think it would, and that has to be weighed into any decision to vote for Romney.
