But....if you do do that aren't you helping to elect the Democrat? Honestly, you have a very good point, but almost any Republican is better than a Democrat. Actually, this question was a hypothetical, I live in Georgia and usually get to vote for great candidates =for example Saxby Chambliss.

No, not any Republican is better than a Democrat. Many of my conservative friends were all gung-ho for Pete Wilson because of reapportionment, and vetoing the evil Democrat gerrymandering plan was the ONLY principled thing Wilson did in his 8 years in office.
Of course, this was after he put forth one of the largest tax increases in California history ...
Liberal Republican governors raise taxes, and Republican legislators tend to roll much faster when one of their own is in the corner office. If Arnold were governor during this last budget crisis, Republicans would never have held firm on taxes because Arnold would have been the first to roll. Just like Wilson.
But I can not in good conscious vote for someone who I don't agree with on basic issues. I won't vote for a Democrat, but I won't vote for Arnold, either.

I heard the same thing in 2000...a vote for Bush over McCain is a vote for Gore.

Honestly, you have a very good point, but almost any Republican is better than a DemocratUsually. But shouldn't a candidate have to win over voters? We are being told we should vote for him before we know anything he would do. So far we can't identify one position that he is to the right of Davis on. So far, we only know he loves spending, and his advisors love taxes.
