Truly, I think G-d would understand the idea of strategic voting - after all, mathematics and logic are expressions of His will.

An undervote would be less helpful to Romney than a vote for him, but more so than a vote for Paul. Imagine that there are 5 voters in VA: 2 for Romney, 2 for Paul, and one undecided. Depending of how the undecided voter breaks on Election Day, three outcomes are possible:

U.V. breaks for Romney - R: 3, P: 2. Romney gets 60% of the delegates, Paul gets 40% of the delegates.
U.V. undervotes - R: 2, P: 2. Romney gets 50% of the delegates, Paul gets 50% of the delegates.
U.V. breaks for Paul - R: 2, P: 3. Romney gets 40% of the delegates, Paul gets 60% of the delegates.

Obviously I’m oversimplifying, but it illustrates the point.

Would hold my nose, Vote for Paul and thereby do my small part of thumbing my nose at and giving the finger to the Republican establishment.

So, VOTE FOR PAUL (never thought I’d say that) IN VIRGINIA.
