If not voting for Romney helps Obama, then not voting for Obama must surely help Romney, right?

That is a logical statement ONLY if both candidates are EQUAL in every way - in that case they cancel each other out. Which begs the question: does one of the candidates edge out the other in one or more important categories?

As I've said before, if you cannot with a clean conscience vote for Mitt, fine. But unless you produce an Obama supporter who partners with you NOT to vote for their side, don't try to make the fallacious claim that your choice does not affect to overall percentages.
