“don’t have to vote for Willard and do get a chance to wreak future havoc among the liberals.”
OMG, people! Don’t you get it that if we help Hussein grab a second (much more horrific) term, it’ll be the death of our republic and we won’t HAVE a future???
OMG! In what alternate universe do you live where California goes Romney?
No one on this board is going to tell me to vote for Romney because he's great and ought to be president.
The only arguments in favor of voting for Romney are going to be purely utilitarian, i.e. vote Romney because he is at least slightly less pathetic than Obama.
Well, it turns out I have an even better utilitarian idea that you! I know for a fact that Obama already has California in the bag. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar or delusional.
Because of that I am going to put my vote to the best possible use, i.e. helping the Green Party get 5% of the popular vote so that they can siphon some of the ultra-liberals away from the Democrats in order for the Republicans to squeak through for future victories.
If you have a principled reason for voting for Romney, then great. But if your only argument is pragmatic, and if you live in a solidly blue state, then you should do the even more pragmatic thing of voting for the Green Party.
Totally agree with your statement. All Republicans and disenchanted Obama voters have to coalesce behind the nominee which appears to be Romney. We have to start focusing on what our objectives in the November election – save this country and make Obama a one-termer!!”
