Will the religious right swallow hard and vote for a Mormon? Will the 'right to lifers' support someone whose position on that question is not quite clear cut? Will the Tea Party buckle up and support a candidate less fiscally conservative than they would like? Will those viciously opposing ObamaCare back Romney, who got a very similar program passed in Massachusetts?

Basically, will the entirety of the Republican Party come together to back a candidate to replace President Obama? Will the GOP electorate do what the Congress has been unable to do...compromise on a candidate that might not be all they had wished for, but who is better than the incumbent?

Very simply, if Republicans don't come together, there's little doubt that Barack Obama will be a two-term president.

What do you think? What will you do? How will you vote?

Why, you in a real rush here. Your crystal ball much be very busy lately. It's too early for this discussion.
