That is your right, and I understand completely, but depending on where you live I might disagree. The question is which vote will do the least harm to the country. If you vote for Barr in a state that is solid for either McCain or Obama, it's a positive way of expressing an important and accurate concern. If a few dozen votes for Barr give Obama a swing state that puts him over the top, that leads to a completely different analysis. Just how much domestic damage would McCain's liberalism and lack of respect for the Bill of Rights do in 4-8 years, and how much global damage would his exceptional qualifications for Commander in Chief prevent? Just how much domestic damage would Obama's even more extreme liberalism and lack of respect for the Bill of Rights do in 4-8 years, and how much global damage would Obama's total lack of potential as Commander in Chief do in that time period? When I weigh the two risks, I don't find myself favoring Barr/Baldwin.
Okay, I won't be writing any McCain commercials: "Vote for McCain, he's not much but Obama would be terrible." Still, that's my reasoning, and I'm sticking to it.
I live in Michigan which is in the midst of a depression...worst since the thirties...regardless of what the polls say I am certain Obama will win here easily...
...looking forward to rebuilding the GOP after this fiasco is over.
