Just to follow up on your excellent post, which I think the same about...

Histrionic, fear-driven posters are making this sound like the end of the world. That if each of us does not cast a vote for RINOmney, we are voting for Zero. This is as false as saying that each time we drink a 7up, we are actually drinking a coke. No sale.

In all likelihood, there only three options:

1. Zero wins in a landslide, like in ‘08. If so, your vote won’t count, no matter who you vote for.
2. RINOmney wins in a landslide, in which case, your vote won’t count.
3. It is a dead-heat tie - IN YOUR STATE - and only then will your vote decide your state.

Unfortunately, your vote will likely not decide the national election unless the Electoral count is a tie and you are the final state. My state has 6 million voters. The odds of my vote deciding the election are small, very small. My state likely won’t decide the Electoral College final count.

Sorry, I don’t buy the whole fear driven end times scenario. The problem isn’t Zero. The problem is that he is not opposed in Congress, scorned, sued, etc.

I am focused on electing conservatives in each office that has a conservative in the race.

Indeed. I live in a solidly red state that Maobama cannot possibly win. Whether Barack ‘Herod’ Obama wins re-election or not, I can safely vote for Goode since Romney will win the electoral votes from my state. We have 50 different presidential elections not one. Thank God for the electoral college.
