I have held my nose to vote for most candidates for the past 40 years... I think the exception was for voting for Reagan in 1984(I did not vote in 1980...I bought the media BS about Reagan but of course refused to vote for Carter....Reagan turned me into a dyed in the wool conservative.).
I held my nose to vote for both Bushes, McCain, and Dole. I had no choice.
Pragmatic voting and intellectual honnesty are not mutually inclusive.

Voting isn’t what’s at issue. Its the chicken little pronouncements against Romney from the same folks who you and I both know will be cheer leading him the most if he wins the nomination. Either he’s that terrible (which he is) in which case voting for him in the general election is just as bad as voting for Odumbo OR he isn’t in which case the intemperate remarks needs to be toned down so as not to turn away voters.
