It is American versus Marxist. It is Romney versus Obama. It is that simple.

It is, indeed, that simple.

There are precisely two dots to connect.

And, if you do not prefer the American (warts and all), then you prefer the Marxist.

There are precisely two dots to connect.

It is only that simple if your individual vote will determine the election. Even if your individual vote detemined the state in which you are voting, your choice would only matter if the electoral college were close enough for the state to make the difference.

In point of fact, if it is that close, lawyeres will determine the outcome, not the individual votes.

None of the above does send a message. Is there a risk in sending this message? Perhaps a slight one.

I am inclined to vote for Ryan but not Romney—writing in someone else for the top of the ticket. It is enough to give the lawyers something to fight over if it does come down to a tie except for my vote (arguably I am voting for Ryan’s electors) but does drive home the point that I am not happy with Romney.
