The sad thing is that many Republicans do honestly believe that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm aware, and it doesn't help that it gets repeated over and over in the conservative media echo chamber. I guess I was hoping for a more nuanced discussion out of someone I know is otherwise intelligent.
ETA: I've had a couple other friends chime in that they're voting 3rd party this year. They know objectively Obama is better than Romney, but they still don't think he's going to fix anything, and are making protest votes. I can respect that, even if I don't agree with it. (I have plenty of issues with Obama myself, but I feel he's also been hampered by an obstructionist Congress and that Romney would be a complete disaster. Not only as president, but because it will take that much longer for the Republicans to realize just how crazy they've gotten.)

I am pretty sure that I am voting Jill Scott, because I agree with her the most. But the decision is a lot easier in NY, where it would be shocking if it went republican

Our wings are not tired.
Living in a swing state means not even looking at other party candidates. I am a strong Obama supporter so it wasn't really an issue, but Florida is way too close.

Ohio feels you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am pretty sure that I am voting Jill Scott
I would love it if you wrote in Jill Scott, but I bet you mean Jill Stein.
So I woke up and it was dark and rainy and I didn't want to go to yoga, and I didn't want to go, and then I went!

As does NC. Which is kind of refreshing. 2008 aside, the Dems rarely even get close.

They're saying that Pennsylvania isn't swing anymore, but I'm not taking a chance.

Oh dear. Maybe I will write in Jill Scott!!!

I forget who said it, but I remember reading an article that argued that the responsible thing to do was to vote for the least-worst major candidate if you live in a swing state, but vote for whatever third-party you agreed with if you lived in a solid state, to get them more funding.
WI is very swingy right now, so I know I'm voting for Obama, Baldwin (still outraged about losing Feingold to that douche Johnson) and Zerban--even if I know there's little chance of him unseating Ryan.
