My own rule is very simple: 1) support the most conservative & freedom loving candidate; 2) in the general election, support the candidate with the best chance of defeating 0bama.

My own rule is very simple: 1) support the most conservative & freedom loving candidate; 2) in the general election, support the candidate with the best chance of defeating 0bama.

That's basically my approach too:

Vote offensively (for the best candidate) in the primary.

Vote defensively (for the candidate to the least damage) in the general.
