Not good enough. It's not enough to vote for somebody besides Obama.
In order to matter, you have to cast your vote in such a way as to maximize the probability of Obama's ouster!
If, instead, you cast your vote in accordance with your (imperfectly understood) conservative principles, then you are part of the problem, not part of the solution. And whatever happens in 2013-2016 will be your fault.
