I have had several "debates" with him and, like you, he has a serious case of Romney derangement to the point where another term for Obama is preferable if it means Romney loses. Your argument for my "hypocrisy" is akin to the race-baiters using the charge of racism against those willing to see/state the truth because they can't/won't see or acknowledge the truth. I liked Bachmann/Cain/Perry/Gingrich, but none of them is still in the game, except they are able to make the distinction and prefer Romney to Obama. Rush, Levine, and a host of other good minds also make the distinction, so I am comfortable with wanting to stop Obama even if it means Romney is the one who wins.
You may be “comfortable”, I am not — with either abomination.
