A vote for Romney in the following states: * Hawaii * CA * OR * WA * IL * MN * NY * NJ * VT * Maine * CT * Delaware * MD * DC (district) * MA
= a sanction for a pro-abortion, big govt, socialist healthcare pioneer candidate and a sanction for RINOism and a vote vs. conservative principles.
Even from a pragmatic utilitarian post-modern political relativist angle -- which many FREEPERs have bought into -- a vote FOR Romney in ANY of the above states would not help Romney win. We live in an electoral system; second place in those states only helps on horseracing bets.
Also...at least as far as FREEPERs go...if you subtract 100% of FREEPER votes (& give them to Virgil Goode) in the conservative states noted in the chart below, Romney would still win those states. Your pro-Romney vote -- unlike what Moonshot has said -- won't matter...in those states. The most that Romney moonbeam utilitarian arguments could even count is within swing states listed below:

When did they move Connecticut and Rhode Island from New England?
Weird chart.
Before offering such sage advice, do you think it might have been a good idea to see if Goode was even on the ballot in half of those "conservative states noted", so you don't look like a f****** idiot?
Because he's not on the ballot in half of the states you've listed. Not even one-third...
