I will not stay home, I have a senator in Texas that I need to vote for however I WILL NOTE VOTE for Romney. I will skip that particular vote. Call me what you will.
Skipping a particular vote is not nearly the same thing as “staying home”.
It was the “staying home” that I was responding to, not your lack of the ability to hold your nose firmly enough to get over the stench of a vote for Romney - as I am unsure as to my own ability to do THAT.
The problem with running a bad candidate is not just that THEY lose, but that they are a “down ballot disaster” because people stayed home while the other candidate enthused the voters, who usually vote down ballot the same way they did at the top.
Do not EVER EVER EVER “stay home” on election day.
There is a lot more to our Republic than the Presidency!
