Unfortunately, we are only going to have two real choices in Nov.

It’s sort of a choice between communism today and communism next year.

I’ll have to go with the longest period left to fight it.

No, there will be only two real outcomes: Obama or Romney, unless a really exciting and uniting third party person runs and wins on a plurality, a possiblity since both Romney and Obama are loathed by so many in their own parties.

But barring that, you're right in that there are only two outcomes, Obama or Romney. But you're wrong that we have only two choices. WE HAVE A THIRD CHOICE and it is one of strategy.

In 1992, 57% of American voters voted AGAINST Bill Clinton; he won on a 43% plurality, which made him weak and vulnerable and so encouraged limited government conservatives that Clinton got creamed in the mid-terms and the Republican Revolution did HUGE GOOD for America. Clinton was REJECTED by the majority of voters both times he ran, though most people have forgotten that because the MSM has so many people believing its pro-Clinton spin. But Clinton was rejected by the majority BOTH TIMES. Had Perot voters stayed home and made it so Clinton won with a majority, the Republican Revolution would probably never have happened.

Our THIRD choice in November is to vote official on-the-ballot third party (a write-in may well invalidate your entire ballot). Such a vote will be entirely neutral with regard to whether Obama or Romney wins, but it will effectively weaken the winner by making him enter office with, hopefully, a plurality in the 34-40% range, meaning that it is clear to all involved that his support is very weak and that he is politically vulnerable. Our THIRD choice is to vote so that whichever bad-for-America statist wins, has the deck stacked against him on all sides because the majority voted against him.
