I agree with everything you said.
I do believe Romney would be slightly better than Obama. However, I think that Obama is just awful and has done quite a bit to damage our economy and continue to set us up for major problems over the next ~5 years.
If Romney gets in office, he will take over a crappy economy and do nothing to really improve the business climate significantly. He'll be a GWB-type that works with both sides on expanding government size and scope, and do nothing to really make our economy better.
Then, by the time his term is up, people will be clammoring, begging for a new Democratic president. And at that point, we're essentially back to the 2008 and 2012 election(s) yet again. Economy in the crapper and people voting for Mr. Electable with no real solid way to guide America into a better state.

I don't know that much about how the political system works, but wouldn't a united Republican House and Senate be able to run the country for him? That is no Democratic president to veto their decisions for the next 2 years.

Not really, because a united Republican House wouldn't be united.
There are more then enough "hardline" small government republicans to shoot down straight "neocon" republican endorsed spending programs.
Which is why they always need to pull in some democrats by swinging funding to their districts.
