No, that is the dumbest strategy. Let me give you just one result of this strategy: Obamacare
All it took is a few conservatives not staying at home in 2006, 2008, and Obamacare would have been defeated.
Staying home is dumb. Had we made the best of it and elected more to the house/senate in 06/08 we’d have kept Obamacare from becoming law.
If Romney wins SC I see no way he doesn’t win FL. That would be 4 in a row with more coming. Could he be challenged after that? Possibly but it would be unprecedented in modern presidential politics (to my knowledge) and unlikely to be successful. So the question will be, “What next?”
I understand the pain of seeing it all unfold in slow motion - but it’s happening. It’s a sh** sandwich for sure. From where I sit, there’s not much choice but to suck it up and work hard on other priorities or stay home (the latter being unacceptable to me).
