I'm torn on this. I said that I was never going to do it again when I voted for McCain last time.

When “conservatives” tell me that if we don't vote for Romney we'll get 4 more years of Obama and we can't afford that, that Romney is the lesser of two evils, I like to point out that the more evil the other guy gets, then also, the lesser can also be more evil and still be the lesser. The GOP evidently didn't learn their lesson in 2008. Conservatives largely stayed home because they didn't like their choices. The “share” of the vote that the GOP lost out on last time was the “no vote” share. When conservatives (or anyone else for that matter) doesn't vote, then they leave it to the pundits to try and determine what they were thinking and what their reasons were. That's why anyone who is not happy with their choices needs to at least show up and write in a vote so that their position is documented and can be analyzed for the fools that trying to run the show.

I haven't decided what I'm going to do in November yet, but I do know that I'm going to show up and vote, I just haven't decided if I'm voting for the lessor of two evils or writing in my choice.

If Romney doesn’t suffer a decisive defeat in November, he’s young enough to come back in 2016.
That’s part of the “reality” that most of the reality-leaners are not factoring in.

Hence my tag.
