Many conservatives are wringing their hands on how to vote this election. We want to vote for somebody other than the RINO McPain that the GOP stuck us with….because we want to change things. But, on the other hand, we DON'T want to see the marxist socialist BO waltz into office….especially regarding those precious Supreme Court appointments.
So I came up with this idea. First take a look at the probability of which way the electoral votes for your state will go…a couple maps are linked below. This can help you decide how to throw your vote this disastrous election year. Make your choice based on how MOST effective your vote will be toward one of two goals…either voting third party to create future change or keeping Obama out of office…who says conservatives can't do both this year?
For example: Since I live in Washington, a strong Dem state, I know that my state's electoral votes will be going to Obama. Thus I have no reason to vote for McPain in order to defeat Obama….which I would do if my state was teetering between Obama and McCain. However, since it isn't, I can safely vote for a third party to help give them a boost toward the 5% of the popular vote needed for representation and funding in the next election.
Those who are living in strong GOP states can also vote for a third party candidate to help push for a third party alternative next election without the fear of putting Obama into office.
Where states are weak or barely or exactly tied, a vote for McCain would be smart and helpful in keeping Obama OUT of office and the Supreme Court filled with conservatives.
