Here in Ohio, the conservatives are abandoning the incumbent Republican, governor Taft. His choice of a liberal, socialist, Democrat as a running mate have left many people like me sending checks to the Dems as a protest. This woman makes Howard Metzenbaum look like a John Bircher. Every time I get a request for support, I copy the checks and note explaining my distaste with Taft. Right to lifers, gun groups,etc. are all complaning and threatning to "shaft Taft" in November.

To protest the governor's decision to move left, you will support the left.
Let's look at the logic of your actions.
Why is the governor moving to the left? Because he believes that he cannot win with just the right.
You solution is to take a vote and money from the right and give it to the left.
The result is that the left gets stronger and Taft is vindicated in his belief that the right is not enough.

If you want to protest, vote for a conservative or libertarian candidate. Then the message will be clear.
