My point is that I don’t want you to vote for me or Tom. There are only two real parties in this country. Everything else is a circus sideshow. Libertarians, Greens, Reform, whatever, they have no power in the United States. If you vote for anyone other than Romney, you’re voting for Obama. If you stay home, you’re voting for Obama. If you only vote down-ballot, you’re voting for Obama.
My wife agrees with you - not voting for Romney is a vote for Obama. A friend at work says that not voting for Obama is a vote for Romney.
If I don’t vote for either of them, I get two votes!
I do try to be respectful of folks who feel compelled to vote for Romney, but I reserve my right to see his candidacy as doomed.
