We have two candidates.

Wrong. We have many candidates; we have two candidates only if you narrow it down to Republican vs. Democrat. As it happens, THIS time, both the Democrat and the Republican candidates have established records of pushing the SAME liberal agendas.

People need to pick one [of them].

WRONG again. People need to decide how to cast their Presidential vote to best promote their own interests. I am a conservative who will vote for limited government conservatives down-ticket, and that will dictate "best interest" in how I vote for President.

At this point, it looks like in the presidential race, there will be one of only two outcomes: Romney or Obama. Both will be enemies of limited government conservatives, so it is in my best interest to vote so that whichever one wins the White House, will enter office politically vulnerable and on the defensive so that his opponents, both in his own party and in the opposition party, have a better chance of making him weak. I will vote third party and hope I am joined by enough compatriots to force the "winner" into a plurality victory where some 60% or more of Americans voted AGAINST him either by voting third party or for his opponent.

Obama Hysteria aside, when a president is elected under those circumstances -- as Clinton was in 1992 -- he is made weak and vulnerable and his opposition has real power. The Republican Revolution followed Clinton's 43% plurality win, when enough Americans disgusted with big-government Republican HW Bush as well as liberal Clinton, voted for Perot. We owe a debt of gratitude to those Perot voters because IF HW had won OR IF Clinton had won with a majority, the Republican Revolution would probably never have happened.

ABO is based on Obama Hysteria, and people make really stupid moves that they regret later when they are hysterical.

I align with Goode on every issue. But you are smoking crack if you vote for him. He will NEVER win. Ever...

Absolutely!! If Romney wins the election, I expect the conservatives who held their noses and voted for him will have the greatest case of political buyer's remorse ever in a short period of time.
