Vote as if it’s the last chance you’ll ever have to vote and make it count for something.
Holding your nose and picking the least of two evils doesn’t count.
Thumpity-thump bump for your post.
Man, did you ever nail it.
Here in Texas, the GOP will carry the State without drama, so there is some freedom for disaffected conservatives to vote CP or LP or some other splinter-party; as I told someone on the Texas board, the GOP-E will notice a ballooning CP vote faster than they will notice a GOP undervote, with people leaving Willard's box blank.
Texas yellow-dog Democrats, many of them still segs, will vote for Asmodeus and Belial before they vote for either a Mormon bishop or a black-racist Communist. They'll stay home.
Other States, of course, will have other calculi.
Personally, I'd prefer Romney lose a 50-state sweep, but the GOP get 68 seats in the Senate. Then both Willard and Obozo are gone, and we get to campaign against a fill-in Biden incumbency while Tea Partiers and conservatives in the congressional wing of the GOP blow out all the clubby, closet-case, Bushoid-Me Too'er-Rockefeller RiNO trough-pigs for good.
