What happens now

The Republican primary is all but over.  With Santorum out of the running, the clear second place in this race, it is all but certain that Romney will get the nomination.  Ron Paul has never even come close to reaching the number one position (sorry Paul-ies, its the truth).  And Gingrich, in my opinion, is too erratic, and is out if money.  Though, who knows, anything can happen.  As for me, personally, my candidate was Rick Santorum and eventhough he has dropped out, I still can not bring myself to vote for Romney in the primary.  Primaries are for the candidate you want, not the one you can live with. 

Further more, I have strong reservations about Romney.  He has yet to convince me that his conservatism is genuine, I want a candidate that feels it in his gut, not one that has to think about the answer that will go best with the audience he is speaking to.  Romney care gives me great concern.  It may be constitutional for a state to dabble in healthcare, it is still unconstitutional to force the people to buy a product/service.  It also takes the biggest issue for conservatism, Obamacare, off the debate table.  Other issues include taxes, I do not believe he will go as far as is needed in simplifying the tax code, and I do not believe he will go as far as is needed to shrink government.  The Fed, which actually isn't a gov't agency and the EPA need to be completely abolished and the Departments of Education and State, not to be drastically reduced and overhauled, if not completely eliminated as well.

That being said, here is what happens now...

Romney will get the nomination and, despite the Left's desperate wishes to the contrary, it will not mean a certain victory for Comrade Obama.  Because after the Primary is over, and we have a nominee, all Conservatives WILL get behind him and vote.  There are too many issues and consequences involved.  Romney may not be the ideal candidate, none of them are, but he is a hell of a lot better than Obama.

Romney will, I believe, at least halt the path the Obama and the Left have put us on and perhaps institute a few conservative measures.  However, if Obama is re-elected, there is no telling how much more damage will be done to the country, how many more socialist policies he will enact by executive fiat, ignoring Congress.  If you consider that he will not even be beholden to the people since he no longer needs to worry about an election, this threat become even graver.

Believe me, most other conservative feel the same way.  We will vote for Mitt Romney's shoe over Obama for a second time.  And if you believe in this country at all, want to see it great again, and believe that prosperity and liberty are essential to life, you will do the same.
