I have a question for ya.

Current polls show Obama leading by at least 20 points in Rhode Island. It is a reliably Dem state (Bush lost by almost 30 points).

Why should a conservative in such a state vote for John McCain (as opposed to a third party) if McCain does not represent their priority concerns?

Wouldn’t a vote for McCain in such a scenario just reinforce the theory of “Republican voters will vote for anyone(R) in the general election, no matter how liberal”?

Vote for who you want.
All I’m saying is that, as a conservative, you cannot deny that every vote for a third party candidate equals one less vote that Obama needs.
