What will happen if the Republicans...

...nominate someone like Mitt Romney -- whom they clearly don't like -- because he's the most electable candidate, and it turns out that he can't beat President Obama. Then what? 

From a new Washington Post/ABC News poll:

In a general-election test, Obama leads Romney 52 to 43 percent among all Americans; more narrowly, 51 to 45 percent, among registered voters. Among all adults, it’s Obama’s first time topping 50 percent in a head-to-head matchup with Romney since July; it’s his first time ever above that point among registered voters.
