Will Splitting the Vote Kill Meg/Carly?

Maybe we ought to start teaching game theory more widely in schools.

Certainly easier than teaching ethics or values.

Drudgreport is suggesting Boxer has beaten Fiorina. I think that with about 4 hours of voting left this might be a little premature.

Winning is necessary. If you and those who share your ethics and values are politically or physically dead - then there is no longer any proponent of said ethics and values.

Tactics and strategy are necessary to the triumph of right.

Inner peace in knowing that you stayed true to your conscience and beliefs, and never-ever voted for a progressive socialist.

I don't know that it would give me any inner peace IF I could have been part of keeping the worse of two options out of office and failed to do so.

My view is that generally I don't cave into the argument that a vote for a non R ot D is wasted. If we had more people stand up for their principles we might get a viable third party.

That said, there are times when pragmaticsm (sp?) takes precendence. For me, that is the Carly / Ma'am fight. Boxer is so toxic that I am morally compelled to cast a vote that has the biggest chance of unseating her, so I voted Carly even though I don't support her per se.

Kameltoe Harris is the other one I am actively voting AGAINST, from a pragmatic view, so Cooley it is.

The rest of the races don't warrant me to forego my principles so I vote for whomever I think is best (voting FOR candidates vs. against another). There is at least one that is a Dem. I think there's one R in there, but many are 'the other guys'.
If we don't start to starve the big parties of votes, they will continue on their agenda of completely destroying this once great country.

Just my opinion as afforded me under the COTUS.

Yeah, that's happen soon...

I cannot wait for this election to be over.

no surprise there at all. it just proves that the people of this state are so stupid when it comes to voting that they will vote for the same people that screw them over and over again. i guess when you are used to getting F***** all the time it just feels natural.
