Nonsense? I believe a principled vote is fine. But don't hide your head in the sand regarding the consequences. Yes, you will send a message. The beneficiary of the message will be Hillary Rodham Clinton, Marxist and totalitarian. But at least you will show the Republicans.
I don't want McCain either, but the thought of Hillary in the White House is terrifying. Make your principled vote. I will respect that. But when Hillary is in the White House because people stayed home or wanted to show the GOP they couldn't get away with nominating McCain, live with consequence and don't complain about her.
