I can understand your choice. Essentially you don't care whether Romney or Obama wins, and will accept either outcome.
Meanwhile, if Romney wins, it puts him on notice that, unless he runs his presidency conservatively, he will not get conservative support in 2016, and may even get a primary challenger (I'm personally in favor of WI gov Scott Walker -- a man who has demonstrated that he will actually fight for conservative principles, and actually win).
I think Romney cares more about winning, than any ideological position.
No, I abhor either outcome - that is why I will vote for neither man. There is not a single conservative quality in either one.

While I appreciate the possibility, nothing assures Romney's compliance... And his record nearly denies it. And IF he were to get his second term, with the help of the Conservatives, pray tell what would stop him from following his nature then?

That may well be, as it is plain that he enjoys the game - But it is only an opinion. Again, his record shows what he is, and is the closest thing we can come to wrt expectation. And his ideology is in the heart, and is the heart's default position. I cannot sanction what I find there.
Willard cannot win. He is a totally empty suit in which there are no strengths to challenge Obama's strengths. And if you don't think Obama has strengths, you are kidding yourself. You are breaking the first law of war fighting, which is to know your enemy. If you do not recognize his strengths, you will not be able to devise a strategy to overcome them. Willard is the personification of a state of mindless though willful ignorance in this regard.
This is classic case study for the proposition that the energy of hatred causes dysfunction in the vision faculties of the soul.
Using Willard as one of their key soldiers in this battle against the Light, he was used by the Dark side to spew grotesque lies in the direction of the two real conservatives in this race, Gingrich and Santorum, ginning up a strong wave of hatred in their direction, effectively character assassinating them, leaving them dead on the battlefield.
The Republican Electorate, swept into this energy of hatred, became blind, by the power of this hatred, to all dimensions of truth from that point forward, and thereafter they became locked into an illusion that no one but this empty suit can beat Obama, and that there is no hope for victory against Obama but this total fraud. It is really an amazing spectacle to see, how the whole Republican Army has been effectively swept off the battlefield and into a box canyon.
In their cozy embrace of the canyon walls, scribbled all over with the graffiti of their empty war cries, which echoed loudly in the canyon land, but nowhere else, they will wake up on the morning of November 5, 2012, just like they did on November 5, 2008, sitting forlornly around the cold coals of their hopes and dreams, finding that their candidate has lost again.
For the Children of God, trampling on the principles of God in your quest for power, will never win you a victory. I hope you will finally learn that lesson this time around.
As defeat looms again, I hope you will face that lesson now, in time to turn things around, that is, turn yourself around, march out of that box canyon, and back onto the real battlefield, where the forces of Light and Darkness are locked in an epic battle for the SOUL of America.
Find the still bodies of your fallen leaders, Gingrich and Santorum, pray over them, raise them out of their coma of defeat, organize your ranks, and then march forward in the direction of victory.
