RE: With respect, that’s a false choice.
With respect it is most assuredly NOT a false choice. If you choose Bachmann and she is not the candidate, they you just might see a Gingrich vs Obama race. WHAT THEN?
Same applies. If the candidate doesn’t meet my test, I don’t vote for them.
Lots of people on this site say they won’t vote for Romney, and I’m one of them. I’m deciding whether I could vote for Gingrich if he is the nominee.
That is not completely based on adultery, though that does go to issues surrounding his judgment that are completely valid. In the end, my vote will be about conservatism, and I have serious doubts about Gingrich’s conservatism.
And, save any argument you may have about ‘a third party vote is a vote for Obama’. It’s a vote for the candidate of my choice.
