Trying to get Mihos back inside the big Republican tent

Hub Politics has posted a petition for delegates to the state Republican convention in April to pledge their support for Christy Mihos, so he runs in the Republican primary, rather than as an independent in November. He'd need at least 500 delegates to get on the primary ticket. Should Mihos, at least nominally a Republican, run as an independent, hmm, which party do you think he'd draw more votes away from in the general election?
