...he wins(he will w/out my vote) by less the 1% so he STARTS out weak and scared. MAYBE we can mitigate the risk and damage he can/would do.

They work better than punting.

Here are your presidential choices as it stands today. Care to comment on that?

[VRWC For Truth]

Boner and McCornhole will screw it up. A one party system of two Socialist parties.

[Persevero]

Don’t you feel strange, though, hoping he wins and yet not voting for him?

[Kazan]

If Omama wins, because so many of us wanted to “teach Republicans a lesson”...

It's not a matter of teaching the Republicans a lesson, it's face the possibility Romney will do more damage to the conservative movement, Republican party and nation than a lame-duck Marxist could dream of doing.

It's what addicts do, it's called lying to yourself.

There has been so much rage and hate against mittens, and so many people banned and threatened to be banned, that sane and logical discussion is not permitted.

So FReepers resort to little tactics like " hope he wins {but without my vote" because I'm voting for Joe Shitte, the rag picker.

[GoldwaterChick]

I would vote for Daffy Duck if it were the only way to keep Obama out of the White House.

I hope the GOP nominee for President wins in a landslide.

I hope the GOP picks up numerous seats in the House.

I hope the GOP sweeps the Senate races and ends up with a 60+ vote majority there.

I will laugh and dance and sing, and I’ll praise God and pray that He blesses America.

I will take my girlfriend out for a preposterously expensive steak dinner and drink very much fine, fine wine.

I will go to bed and sleep the sleep of the innocent and protected, and I’ll wake up happy and rarin’ to go.

Then we’ll all need to get down to the crucial and messy and maddening business of fixing our broken system and fast. And a big part of this will be making the GOP into a much more conservative, grass-roots-driven party.

But driving the ‘Rats out in the greatest numbers possible is job one for the next seven months. There is no doubt about that.

Yes, House and Senate are key this year. A GOP congress could keep Obama from doing even more damage and the same would make sure Mittens stays to the right.

[rogue yam]

There has been so much rage and hate against mittens, and so many people banned and threatened to be banned, that sane and logical discussion is not permitted.

This has been a tragedy and a disgrace, and utterly unworthy of conservatism.

[COBOL2Java]

Don't show that chart to the RomneyBots!

[GeronL]

Voting for a liberal weenie will only prove to them that when push coms to shove you WILL ALWAYS vote for the liberal weenie.

Why would they ever feel pressure, you’ve just proven that they can run a leftist and still get your vote? Where will the pressure come from?

[citizen]

As a reluctant Romney supporter of necessity, all that works for me. >> Defeat Obama, pick up more seats in the House and gain control of the Senate by at least two seats, hopefully more, so the Dims can’t entice some senator to flip ala Jumpin Jim Jeffords.

I’m still thinking 2012 may be a continuation of the Republican 2010 wave. Obama has been a really bad president and not nearly so many voters will be falling for his 2012 version of “Hope and Change,” whatever it is this time. This current Senate is the real component of the “Do nothing Congress” and a lot of people already do or will realize that before November.

My hopes may be wrong, though. It all starts with voting Obama out. That’s the key.

[G Larry]

ya...vote based upon that “possibility” vs. the CERTAINTY that Obama will destroy America and there will be no “Republican Party” left to reform....

...nice thinking.....

[Drew68]

OK if it's Mittens I HOPE that he wins (he will w/out my vote) by less the 1%...

So we can now look forward to the many "I'm too principled to vote for abortion-loving RINO Mitt Romney but I sure hope he wins!" posts around this place?

It was only a matter of time.

[GeronL]

No... so much more sense to say “vote for anything with an R” and then you can “pressure” them after proving you have no principles at all.

What will you pressure them with after proving you’d vote for “anything” with an R???

[know-the-law]

You have to slow the train down before you can stop it...

Think about that...

[rightly_dividing]

Mitt is not the nominee. The best man for the job is still on the ballot. The weak and the quitters are gone. Vote Newt.

[Sarajevo]

Thank you Mr. Perot.

I see that someone didn't pay attention to history. That was the GOP playing dirty and it bit them in the a$$.

In September he qualified for all fifty state ballots. On October 1, he announced his intention to reenter the presidential race. He said that Republican operatives had wanted to reveal compromising photographs of his daughter, which would disrupt her wedding, and he wanted to spare her from embarrassment. Scott Barnes, a private investigator and security consultant who had testified to that effect, later recanted his story. He revealed in 1997 that he had deceived Perot about the existence of the photographs, and that he had created the hoax with others who were not involved with any political campaign. Barnes was a Bush supporter, and believed that if it were revealed that Republicans were involved in dirty tricks, it would harm Bush's candidacy.

I wish I had that much confidence in the GOP. They've been pretty damn cowardly (or complicent) to this point. Boehner and McConnell aren't exactly Mt Rushmore material.
