That is a very legitimate way of looking at it, as is for those who just cant pull the lever for Romney because he is a lib. In fact in many states it doesn't matter anyway, like my state Maryland.
Having been in the same position in 2008 I have given this some thought.
Here is the irony of the situation. If you actually vote (for MR) then your conscience might rest easier if he loses, alternatively if you don't vote out of principle (or you just don't like him) then it will be easier if he wins.
The reason why is belong the gloating stage which ends mid January (or could be sooner) when the real Romney takes office and everyday is a surprise. Alternatively if Obama is re-elected no good will come out of it.
Southpark did an episode on this situation years back where the Town people kicked Stan out of town because he refused to vote for either piece of crap in a school election.

Ive come to the conclusion that I cannot vote *for* either of these politicians...and a third party vote at this point would be ineffective, simply because the majority of people are willing to sell their principles for the lesser of evil...

I will write in the name of my King, Lord Jesus, and rest assured that His Will is always done, despite our human folly...
