No. I am not trying to cajole you into "my" way of thinking.
I do not do "cajoling."
If anything, I am trying to encourage you into any kind of rational analysis at all.
It seems I am not having any luck with that plan.
Betty, if you were to do a "rational analysis" of your vote you would realize that casting your ballot in Massachusetts for Romney is as useless as casting your pearls before swine.
Romney will not win Massachusetts and he will not win California. Your vote and my vote mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. You and I really have nothing to lose by casting our votes for someone who is a reflection of our values. Nevertheless we can say a lot by refusing to cow tow to the GOP-E and giving Romney our vote of confidence. He does not deserve your vote of confidence. He has done nothing to earn it. Ever.
Of course you are!
I am sure that the way you've looked at things, what you've said makes the most sense - thus 'rational'.
I, however, am not willing to accept that as a Final or Only answer.
It's a LONG way to November!
