If you really like a candidate, but you choose NOT to vote for them only because they aren't one of "The Final Two" - it is you who are actually "wasting your vote". After all, could it not be said that you were just seduced into voting for someone other than the person you really believed in?

A great quote from John Quincy Adams, our 6th President (1825-29):

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”

Excellent. Principle votes with courage, it never considers fear.

Unadulterated BS.

Obama is our only choice. In his 2nd term, he will see to it that the robbing barons of wall street are shut down and prosecuted and all racist white people are re-educated. The brother has been put down, kept out, and now denied even the ability to claim what is owed him.

No, you vote your concsience, by voting for some cracka who can't win, you may as well vote for Romney.

What Obama couldn't accomplish in 4 years will never be in 8.
