Good grief.
We’ve seen ‘kicking and screaming’ vs. ‘stepping up’ in our republic’s history.
Yes, by all means, let us dilute our votes more. Let us add another write-in candidate and then push it in the media and on the internet. End result? Another 5% of the conservative vote gone down the drain and a yet higer probability of Romney walking away with the nomination.
If Palin was actually on the ticket, I would likely be working overtime for her. But she is not. She specifically decided NOT to run.
Don’t be foolish and cast a vote for someone who is not even asking for the job. This will not happen. There is not going to be some crazy groundswell for a write in victory. Be adult and choose from the list who stepped forward.
Santorum, Ron Paul, whatever even though I disagree with those choices immensely but don’t flush your vote completely down the drain with some delusion of a write-in miracle.
We MUST defeat Obama and the candidate MUST NOT be Romney.
Keep the goal in mind. We need to score a goal on this election or it’s over. As a team, we have to set a bar that we can all agreee on. If we all go off doing our own thing or boycotting the election, the Dems will all “as a team” vote for their guy. They only have one vote to cast. Obama. WE have to first choose a warrior to fight him.
Well there is plenty of precedent in American politics. “I like IKE”. Actually... I didn’t think much of his administration and he didn’t like Conservatives much... but he was drafted unwillingly. Our education system really sucks when it comes to History... well it sucks when it comes to anything really.

As I understand, George Washington did not want to serve. He did all right.
