I can understand your frustration. Here is how I'm thinking:
My vote is a representation of who (and what) should be leading and representing our country. This is not a matter of "lesser evil", but a personal decision that reflects on me a a person--and as a Christian.
I believe that I will be held accountable for my decisions, and that includes my voting decisions. So I vote for the person that best represents what I believe in--as an American, and as a Christian (not necessarily in that order). The chance an individual has of actually winning the election is not really a consideration. Sure--it would be wonderful if he can win, but that is not why I vote for the candidate.

I can understand this attitude when it comes to the primaries as we have more than one choice. But what if inspite of the fact that as a Christian, you choose the person who best represents the country, and STILL, that person does not become the nominee to run against Obama?
What then?
I’ve read of too many people who say they will sit this election out or waste their vote by writing in a name they like.
All we need is for enough people to think like that and we’ll have another 4 years of Obama.
