Finally, you never even bothered (sigh) to address my point that not voting for Romney is the equivalent of a vote for Obama.

Because it's not equivalent. If I vote for Obama (and I won't), Romney has to attract two votes to win (one to cancel the vote for Obama and one to create a margin). If I don't vote for Obama, Romney only needs to attract one vote to create a margin.

Is it really your contention that your not voting for Romney gives no advantage to Obama? Consider this. You, me, and the rest of the world have to vote for Prez.

If you and I both vote for Romney, Obama needs *three* other votes to win.

If I vote for Romney, and you abstain (or vote for a third party), Obama needs only *two* other votes to win.

Like it or not, if you don't vote for Romney, you do indeed help Obama win.
