This sounds good on the surface, but NO, DON'T DO IT!!! Don't go 3rd party, even in a solid Dem state.

Here's why: For Romney to score a clean win, he's got to win both the Electoral College AND the popular vote.

Now suppose Romney wins the EC, but loses the popular vote by a sliver, say 50,000 votes. Sure, he'd be president, but he'd be dogged by the popular vote loss. It would be a stone around his neck that he just doesn't need.

Beyond that, there would probably be riots over the popular vote winner (Obama in this scenario) being “denied” his victory.
