Voting, When Your Vote Doesn't Matter

ALERT! Calling all FReepers. We have to start understanding the bigger picture in this and all future elections. As much as I will hold my nose I will vote for Romney. Why?
There is a push, as noted in other replies, for using the POPULAR VOTE to determine elections. Undermining the electoral college. Big mistake. If by some fluke Bambi wins the popular vote and looses in the electoral college there will be trouble. Please re-think your position. Your vote matters in today's environment. As much as it hurts we need to put Romney in with electoral and popular vote victories.
WHAT IS TO BE DONE? As noted before. We need to make sure all down ticket races go to as conservative a person as possible. That will reign in Romney. As I have said before we are lucky in some ways Romney is wishy washy. We can and will bend him our way. Obama is a ideologue. We can't change that. We can change Romney. Especially if he is thinking second term. If it is apparent he will not be considered for a second term if he is too liberal he will turn conservative. That is our ace in the hole.

Those state laws regarding giving electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, only go into effect when the group of states participating is at least equal to the 270 electoral votes needed for election. If that ever happens, I’m sure it will be challenged in court.

We’re going to need more TP members in congress that don’t “go along with the leadership” like they did with Bush.

Congress needs to lead legislation and not let the president do it because he’s their party head.
