If it is Romney vs Obama. What do you do sit home and let Obama be reelected?
I'll do the same thing I did in 88, 92, 04, and 08 -- find a third party candidate I like and vote for him.
I'm not voting for another liberal Republican. Liberal Republicans are worse than liberal Democrats because we don't have any defense again them.
If Obama is reelected and further wrecks the economy, it will provide clarity to the voters.
If Romney is elected and fails to implement sufficient reforms to really improve the economy, it provides a muddled message to the voters, i.e., the GOP is no better than the Democrats.

I do understand and actually agree with your deconstruction of how our votes for statist/liberal GOP candidates has actually undermined conservatism. I understand how that blind partisanship shuts down opposition to GOP statist policies...
That said, I believe we've already been provided the kind of "clarity" as to who and what 0bama is: A COMMUNIST. We have *never* been faced with a second Presidential term governed by a Communist regime - never mind the first destructive phase. To be honest, we can not nor will we survive the second without blood running in the streets and a total dismantling of the Republic.
I realize some of you might believe it's better to tear down the rotted corpse and start anew, but there is no way this leads anyway, anyhow to a seamless transition of constitutional governance.
QUESTION #1: Can conservatism re-take the GOP and reinstate constitutional law under a Romney regime?
QUESTION #2: Aren't the odds far higher that we do so THIS time around (after having seen the degree of destruction of 0bama's Commie regime?)
Sure, we been given a scripted choice for President, but IMO, the odds are far better of turning things around under Romney. There is not nearly the degree of naivete and ignorance as when fake conservative Dubya Bush was foisted upon us.
We simply can't afford Owe-bama unfettered completely, knowing he'll never face the voters again.
So, do you think that the GOP House will cave in and give Obama whatever he wants in his second term?
I don't.
We learned under Clinton that the GOP House CAN be trusted when there is a Democrat President. We also learned that the GOP House CANNOT be trusted when there is a Republican President.
We will be better off with a Democrat President than a Liberal Republican, so long as the GOP keeps control of the House. It's better that nothing at all gets done than more GOP-initiated spending.

We learned that pre-Tea Party, Republicans voted like lemmings for RINO/Globalist causes. AND we learned that Dubya was a Dem in Republican clothing.
If you gave Reagan a GOP House, he'd have kicked major liberal azz.
During Bubba's regime, they [the GOP] gained an upper hand in the Congress and hammered through positive legislation that Clinton was forced to adopt, but ultimately embrace it.

You're forgetting about EOs, various cabinet positions and agendas, czar appointments, and SCOTUS appointments, aren't you?
