That's not what your ballot will say. There's no line there for "against Obama".
Look, I get that there are those who will vote for the lesser of two evils. But don't call it what it's not. It's a vote for Romney.
That's not what your ballot will sayIt doesn't matter what the ballot says. In recent history, the president has either been the GOP candidate or the DEM candidate. There is no indication, and no sane argument, that anything will be different in this upcoming general election. It's not right and I wish the Tea-Party (or similar) had knocked the GOP off the face of the earth. That didn't happen, so we are left with a crap choice.
So, I'll make this simple: Since 0bama will be the DEM candidate, I'm voting for whoever occupies the *GOP* candidate's spot. I presume that will be Romney (barring divine intervention at the GOP convention). So, I'm voting for whoever the GOP candidate is as my vote "against 0bama". Or if you prefer, "Vote For Leading Non-0bama Candidate" == "Vote Against Obama".
Now, if you have a different candidate with better odds of beating 0bama than the GOP candidate, speak up & make your case and let's vote for him. Otherwise, I vote against 0bama by voting for the candidate with the best odds of winning -- however slight those odds may be -- and at this point that's going to be (like it or not) the GOP candidate. It is just that simple.
