... the fact that 3 million Conservatives did not vote. Romney just wasn't perfect enough for them ...

Try living up to your screen name. To say that Romney "just wasn't perfect enough for them" is akin to saying that sugar pills "just weren't perfect enough" for those needing penicillin.

Romney's established actual RECORD was the record of a competent functional liberal Democrat. He not only wasn't "perfect" enough for them, they were SMART enough to realize that voting for him would have been voting AGAINST their own best interests.

Regardless of what the non-voting “conservatives” rationalize about Romney does not bear the truth that no matter how unperfect Romney was, we would have been immensely better off had he been elected, now and in the future.

Hmm, "liberal Democrat". Seems redundant to me. All elected Democrat Senators and Congressman and our Democrat President are all at least liberal.

Anyway about the presidential vote.

Some people such as myself thought that voting for Romney, who has a liberal record and who was running on a mostly conservative platform was the smart option against Obama.

Others such as yourself thought that doing something else, was the "smart" option.

Surely, he (Romney/Republicans) had your support and vote? Surely, your vote was to keep Bowbama out of the Presidency for four more years? My guess: Surely not!
