that whoever the Republicans nominate, whether it's Romney or somebody else, is ultimately irrelevant b/c they are likely going to do what ALEC, the Koch Brothers, Grover Norquist, teabaggers, et. al want. They don't want somebody with a brain who has ideas and a real "vision" for the country. They just need a warm body for the seat in the Oval Office who they control and manipulate into signing their junk. This is why we can't just shrug and say, "meh, Romney's not so bad" or "both parties are the same", and then simply refuse to vote in November. The aforementioned parties will have their way with a Republican POTUS, House and Senate and we need to make sure that this does NOT happen IMHO!
