How do I know this? U.S. conservatives/right-wingers are greatly dissatisfied with the Republican candidates for President. Take as an example the comments section in the following post at Free Republic, a popular web forum for conservative activists in the U.S. The post is about current Republican primary frontrunner Mitt Romney.
"I think we already knew that the Beltway RINOs, Country Clubbers, Bushies and other assorted squishes want him to run. He's the only one who can't use ObamaCare as a weapon in 2012 (with the possible exception of a senile former speaker) so it pretty much assures 4 more years for Mr. Obama and a Jeb Bush run in 2016. A blind man could see it."
"If the left media wants him....WE DONT."
"A Romney Presidency would do the same thing to the National GOP as a Romney Governership did to the MA GOP, KILL IT! You don't run to the middle and away from conservative principles like Myth does all the time, and get anything done concerning issues that are near and dear to conservatives. If Romney gets the nomination, I do my best to make sure he is defeated."
"Obama = Romney. Not a single difference. If Romney is the nominee I will vote third party."
"If Romney gets the nomination, I will actively support a Conservative Third Party candidate. My reason? Romney is another of those'“I'll cross the isle' types, which means, he does subscribe to many aspects of Liberalism. Romney, Daniels, Pawlenty and Gingrich are Republicans in the image of a Bob Dole or John McCain. They are also all week candidates and will get the same result as ‘08. If that's the type of candidate the Republican Party wants, realizing Sen Dole does have health issues, why not just nominate John McCain again???"

It's hard to see how a Republican wins the Presidential election if the activists that are expected to carry the Republican candidate say things such as that.
