I am not a Romney fan at all and have said for a while now that I'll simply leave the presidential slot on my ballot blank since the Zero is going to win California anyway, but I'm starting to think that maybe I should rethink things a bit. If every Romney non-fan decides to hold his/her nose and bump his numbers, the popular vote would be an anti-Zero referendum even if it doesn't sway the electoral college numbers.

Not sure I'll do it, but at least it's worth considering.

If every Romney non-fan decides to hold his/her nose and bump his numbers, the popular vote would be an anti-Zero referendum even if it doesn't sway the electoral college numbers.

If it doesn't matter, your strategic undervote/3rd-party vote target (i.e., the object of your greater derision) would be Romney, since he's the guy screwing up the party that can help you more if he's not in the picture.

In Texas, the State will easily go Romney, so our task is less to record an undervote for Romney and keep his numbers down, than to vote 3rd party, which will be noticed even faster. Our ultimate objective is for Romney to carry Texas (so he can't complain and bitch -- he's already been taking us for granted and laughing at us, no really, he has) by about 100 votes and a huge, giant stink about recounts, and simultaneously rack up about an 8-12% third-party vote. That will be noticed really fast.

Seems fairly likely, given your tagline.
