Can I be the jerk-off in the room that makes an obvious point (a point that none of the Democrats here will never make)?
No third party candidate will win the the presidency in 2012. There is zero chance. It's between Romney and Obama, and that's that. As it stands, Obama probably has a better chance than Romney.
Yet, still, despite all you people saying "I could never vote for Obama," you're going to throw your vote away to a third party. If you ask me, that's just as bad. If you really want to prevent Obama from getting a third term, you've got an odd way of showing it. If enough of you vote for a hopeless candidate, you pretty much are voting for Obama.
If you hate Romney more than you hate Obama, but still want to vote, that's legitimate--vote third party. But if you hate Obama more than you hate Romney (which I'd hope would be the case), please please please please put your vote to better use.
Romney might have less of a chance at winning, but this thing is not over: We might just be able to get a president who will put things on a better course than Obama. This isn't about your princess-y desire to prove something about Mitt Romney. It's about the country.
Maybe Mtt Romney doesn't represent everything you believe in. Maybe you think he'd be a mediocre president. But he's still better than crappy one we've already got.
Glad to hear I'm legitimate. I backed Obama '08, because I (foolishly, in retrospect) believed he would be a real change from Bush. He wasn't, and Romney wouldn't be any change from him (Obama) either. As such, I'm voting Gary Johnson, just because I don't want to pick the lesser of two evils.
