I am a good guy, thanks, and I prefer a small victory to none at all. Cahill a hack and no chance of winning, Stein a moonbat; it comes down to Baker v. Patrick. If you don’t like Baker you are resigning yourself to four more years of Patrick. And in Jan. if you felt Brown was a RINO, you were resigning yourself to many years of Senator Coakley. You can say “I don’t like any of them” and could blank the race, as so many Democrats and independents blanked Patrick in the primary, but one of them (DP or CB) will win.
Do a protest vote if you will. Write in Howie. All I know is either Baker or Patrick will be taking the oath of office come January and I’m for what I see as the most conservative candidate. I will not blank the race, I shall vote for Baker. Judging by the many lawn signs I see, I shall not be alone.
Let me add that if you don’t think Baker is conservative, find a candidate who is for next time and hope he/she gets the Republican nomination. Or run that person third-party. That would be fun, as they’d get maybe 8 per cent of the vote. This is MA
and I doubt you’ll get a true conservative. Try for the best we can or hey, find someone you think can win. If they do,
more power to them.
In a state dominated by the hackocracy.
In a state where some are fiscal conservatives but social
liberals.
In a state where Republicans are a distinct minority. Republicans didn’t elect Brown. Independents did. Without
them you get Marsha. Many Independents this time around
will probably go for Baker.
More than a few Dem voters (you’d be surprised) could go for Baker while others—well, they’re the ones in the teachers’ union putting that Deval Patrick: No Ordinary Leader lawn sign up.
Go Baker, Hudak, Connaughton, Perry, Bielat, Polito and more.
But hey if they aren’t for you there’s always Patrick,
Tierney, Bump, Keating, Frank, Grossman, or more. Perhaps you would prefer them.
Together we can.
I can see your logic in a small victory, and you’re spot on in that either Baker or Patrick ultimately will win. Stein is a moonbat and Cahill is a hack, for sure. All are valid points.
However, on a personal level, I cannot vote for Baker. He was hand-in-hand with Mittens in writing RomneyCare which was a (the?) blueprint for ObamaCare. I have held my nose and voted for Weld (once) and yes, Mitt, both for US Senate and for governor. Add in Baker’s choice for Lt. Gov., and the Republican ticket is plain toxic to me.
I figure that my protest vote of Jill Stein will hurt Patrick both in this election and Rats down the road. Hopefully, she gives a respectable showing (2-4%) that could push the Rats further to the left and even more out of the mainstream.
That being said, as bad as Baker/Tisei are, they will most likely win. We’ll have to see what they can do.
