In denial, huh? And just who are us “deniers” supposed to vote for to keep Obama out of office.... Obama? Get real. We’re not in denial so much as we are realists. Romney is the guy that’s been anointed by the GOP so that’s who we’ll vote for. Elections have always been about selecting the lesser of two evils. I prefer to select the one that’s not currently running the country into the ground. I’ll take my chances on the new guy. I’ve seen enough proof in the last three and a half years to know that Obama is not doing the job.
And those of you that “see the light” and decide that Romney is just not your guy, can vote for whom? A third party candidate, thereby giving the election to Obama? Stay home and don’t vote, thereby giving Obama a better chance at winning? Write-in your “perfect” candidate that somehow didn’t make it through the primary process intact, thereby giving Obama a greater chance at reelection?
Do what your conscious tells you to do on election day but don’t let your ego get in the way of a good dose of reality. If we don’t elect Romney, then Obama will have a second term to really ruin this country.
You are looking through such a narrowed field of vision -- narrowed by pure fear and panic -- that you are only thinking of this election in terms of Obama, nothing else. As would be true in any field, restricting your perception to such a tiny context makes you vulnterable to BIG miscalculations.

And those of us who have done our due diligence in checking Romney's documented record are also realists in that we recognize that he is fully as evil, intentional or not, as Obama on EVERY MAJOR ISSUE: Global warming, nationalized health care, abortion, activist judges, and the homosexual agenda. You pretend that there is a "lesser evil" in the equation; we TRUE realists understand the fallacy of such thinking in the case of Romney.

If it is O vs R in the general, I will be remembering, as should you, what happened to Clinton when he won with a wimpy plurality of 43% -- a full 57% of Americans had voted against him, and it weakened him politically so much that in the mid terms, he got his ass whooped by the Republican Revolution. I am mindful -- and you should be, too -- that when the final tally reveals that the majority of Americans voted against the victor, it hurts the victor politically, makes him weak, and empowers his opposition both in his own party and in the other party.
THEREFORE, I will vote third party for the express purpose of using my vote to make sure whichever disgusting socialist statist wins, Obama or Romney, has the slimmest, most devastating plurality possible. At this point, the thing that would give us the BEST chance of salvaging American freedom would be for Obama to win on a 34% plurality, with 66% of American voters on record as voting against him; it would mean that conservatives won a major battle in recovering the Republican party, it would mean Congress would go hard right in the mid-terms, and it would mean Obama's agenda would be very nearly dead in the water.
You've restricted your thinking to worst-case Obama scenarios. Fine -- now switch gears and start thinking AS A REALIST about what would really happen if, God forbid, Romney won. First, however, you have to acknowledge his documented record.
Romney would be MUCH more damaging to conservatism, and therefore to America, than Obama. I'm voting third party to influence the plurality, but I'll be praying Romney loses. Romney is BAD NEWS for everybody.
