Second - you make a valid point, albeit a bit aggressively - unnecessarily so in my opinion. Third - yes, I believe there is an outside chance that Romney could win Washington, less chance that he will win Oregon - but still a sliver of a chance. Very unlikely that he will win California, maybe possible with some kind of miracle. I see the dissatisfaction with Obama becoming so large that a miracle could happen.
Might I suggest a better way to frame your post:
“I live and vote in state ABC, and there is very little likelihood that Romney will win that state. Therefore, my vote for Goode will neither help Obama, nor hurt Romney in any meaningful way, but it WILL help convey a message to the GOP (much like WV voters did to the dems) that I am very dissatisfied with their business as usual.”
See there? You can make a valid point without making erroneous assumptions about people, or being needlessly abrasive. If, however, you enjoy confrontation and being abrasive, carry on!
You have a rather poor assumption you project onto me...that I don't want to "hurt Romney"...
Frankly, I'd like ALL liberals to be "hurt."
Frankly, I'd like ALL socialistic healthcare pioneers to be "hurt."
Frankly, I'd like ALL big govt types to be "hurt."
Frankly, I'd like ALL pro-aborts to be "hurt."
#1...Keep in mind that when I speak, I am also addressing those who aggressively question Virgil Goode...it's not always easy on threads to distinguish the aggressive questioners of Virgil Goode from those less/not so.
#2...You concede that Romney can't win in CA or Oregon -- and perhaps other states.
Will you now then withdraw the question you asked about Virgil Goode?
Or, if not, will you, in the interest of consistency, start asking potential Romney voters residing in CA & OR if they he is a viable candidate there?
I thought you wuzn't gonna whine?

Next thing ya know; we'll be getting a lecture on posting without lecturing...
