And, of course, also against Mitt Romney (duck’n & runn’n)
Seriously. Whatever way works to build the best future regime possible, is what should be done. The president is only one piece of the puzzle. Some politicians may be likened to lousy corks for the holes in the boat, but when the alternative is no cork or even a pump that pumps the wrong way....
The USA for better or worse does not have a coalition political system like European countries and the thirty or so parties that vie every election. For all intents and purposes here the presidency is a two party battle with third parties being unable to be anything better than spoilers unless they can garner more votes than the most unfavorable major party challenger.
