Well, since your state is locked-in for Obama, there's no reason for you to "maintain party loyalty."
Vote your conscience, and feel good about it! :)
You know, I think Calvin Cooledge* is really underrated, and I like John Adams a bit more than Washington (I greatly admire the sense of Justice that he had to have had, in order to defend the British soldiers of the Boston Massacre, not just obligatory, but with the vigor and elequence to also get them acquitted).
*Given our economic problems an administration/congress that mirrored Cooledge's tenure would go very far to doing much good.
Great, write one of them in. If you don’t, you’re just an egoist.
I already said, up-thread, that I was thinking of Johnson, Goode, or Hoefling; don't be an arse because I replied to your topic of past presidents with other options.
But wait, don’t you think George Washington, John Adamas or Calvin Coolidge would be a better president than Johnson, Goode or Hoelfling? If you’re going to vote for a person who can’t possibly become president of the United States, why vote for someone lesser? Write in John Adams and be proud that you have voted your conscience.
Why not?

Why don’t they just set it at 100.0-0.0 and call the whole thing off?
If Obama wins, the media will blame the Republicans in Congress.
If Romney wins, the media will blame Romney and the Republicans in Congress.
The way I see it, it's 4 to 6 more months and then the $#!t hits the fan, regardless of who is in the White House.
Then it's every man for himself. And don't come knockin’ at my door, unless you want to get shot!
Because they're dead, obviously. {And I never said that Johnson, Goode, or Hoefling were lesser.}
Executive order day one, start drilling everywhere!
Shut down the Communist/Enviro Tree Hugging Industry who’s main order of business is to choke the economic life out of the United States.
Build Gas Refineries!
Build the pipeline from Canada to Louisiana!
Turn the water on in the San Joaquin Vally. Make the special of the day at the bait store the Delta Smelt!
Stop giving money to our enemies!
12 to 18 months and we will be ROARING BACK!
Gov’t needs to support policies the will encourage and enable capital investment for small bussieness!
Get rid of Obama Care and let free markets determain value!
Get rid of Obama Phone!
Get rid of it’s free swipe your EBT cards!
One more Executive Order, if you are living off the hard working tax payers of the United States you lose your vote until you become a contributing, productive member of socity, paying your fare share!
These leaches have been able to vote themselves more and more free everything for far to long. This has to stop!
Sure, they’re dead, but that means they have the exact same chance to become President on Jan 20 that Johnson, Goode and Hoelfling do. No chance.
So, if the goal is to avoid “playing a game” by withholding your vote from the Mittster and giving it to a better candidate who can’t possibly become President, then why not the best President ever, John Adams?
Write him or Coolidge in. If you don’t, you’re just stroking your own ego.
Irrelevant; the actual differentiating factor is that those that are dead cannot perform the duties required by the office.

See the above.

You sir, have shown yourself to be quite disrespectful; the sort of spoiled child who mocks when others don't accede to their every whim. I've given you reasons why it is not morally acceptable to vote for Romney and you have replied, not by addressing the issues raised, but by the same discredited "the other guy's worse" argument again-and-again.
You might have an argument if the Republican party could be counted on to hold to its stared values; however, the post that got all this debate started was my indictment of the Republican party: how it does nothing to further its stated goals. How in Chaos am I supposed to be confident in voting for a man in whom I have no confidence in to be held in-check by a party I have no confidence in?
Ah, the usual pattern is followed. I advocate what Reagan advocated (voting for the most conservative candidate who can actually win) and I’m rude, spoiled, etc.
Hey, just write your own name in. You might as well, because that’s what this whole exercise is about.
The only reason I didn't run this time around was because I'd never qualify to be President the whole four-year term; though I'd be eligible next term around.

Well, there's something wrong with applying that Regan-advice to Romney: he cannot win. {I admit that by-the-odds he has a higher chance than anyone else on the field; but have you heard his "Obama's a nice guy" routine? Honestly, to avoid dirty-politics is laudable, but this isn't such avoidance, it's John McCain's "lack of work/passion for the position because he deserves it [it's his turn]" mentality. IOW he's only there because he's part of the in-crowd.}
Yep, sure, not about your ego at all. No way. Absolutely not. Not a chance.
Hey, I already admitted to having selfish tendencies.
As for the office of President, I don't want-as-in-covet it... but I think I'd damn-well be a better President than Romney.
if this was valid Gingrich should be the nominee.
you never see these games, or third party trolls over at the DUmmies.
As well as a full day's worth of attention.....Better to stir up controversy and attention on this site than to sit at home alone........Get yerself a cat.
