Since it’s clear you will not vote for Romney, who will you vote for? Or will you choose not to vote at all?

It's important to vote...tho the lack of passion 'bout Romney & Obama will keep the turnout lower, IMO.

I believe the "ABO" crowd -- if they were truly serious about not using "ABO" as just a euphemism for pro-Romney -- should seriously consider two worthy "ABO" candidates...Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party and FREEPER Tom Hoefling (aka "EternalVigilance").

I've been leaning toward Goode -- a former rep from the state of Virginia; but Tom's a great guy as well.

Now why should FREEPERS consider voting for Goode or Hoefling?

(1) FReepers living in liberal states like the Left Coast (WA, OR, CA); or NY/NJ; or MD & even some of New England...should know that voting for Romney won't help him win in those states. Obama will win, anyway.

(2) FREEPERs living in the South and some Midwestern states should know that even if we subtracted ALL FREEPER votes for Romney, Romney will still win those states. There's just no way Obama will pick up those states. That should also then release FREEPERs in those states to actually place a vote that will make a difference.

How will that make a difference? Well, if conservatives in liberal states would abandon Romney in droves, that'd send a message to the GoP-E. And if conservative FREEPERS in conservative states would keep from abandoning principle, that'd send a message to our God that at least He has a remnant to rebuild upon.

We have to keep in mind that it would have been unthinkable not that long ago that we would have well over 90% of American voters voting for a liberal.

I think that in and of itself sends a direct message to God that yes, America is overripe for judgment.

Thank you for a well thought out and considerate response!

Living here in PA, I have a feeling it will be close on Election Day.

I hate the idea of having to vote for Romney. And I've been dreading the day that I get put in that position.

I usually vote first thing in the morning, but I think I will wait until the very end of the day to go to the polls.

That way, if it's not close one way or the other, I won't be forced to vote against Obama by voting for Romney.

But considering the choices, it looks like that's all my vote will be this year - a vote against Obama. Very discouraging.
