Sorry republicans, I tried to give Romney Oregon by not voting Obama... but it just didn't work out. Next time.
I actually want a Libertarian to win. Gary Johnson is a good man and was a downright good governor. I find what Obama wants to do to the country, and already has, to be downright scary bad. He's the antithesis of what I am for, other than a few social things that basically cost the country $0 (integrating the military, gay marriage, dream act). I find Romney to be way out of touch with my views on markets and Liberty. I wanted Obama to lose. I didn't want Romney to win. If Obama were to win, I wanted divided government and even the most left-leaning person to find it hard to claim there's a mandate in his reelection (there isn't, thank goodness). If I were forced to choose between Obama and Romney, I'd have stayed at home, or voted only for other offices. I'd have strongly considered a vote for Roseanne Barr, except she's a nitwit and her VP is even worse.
Romney sucked, but he's the kind of candidate who emerges from the current climate of Republican primaries. You get a complete fake like Romney who can convince enough right wingers that he's a Strict Conservative and enough optimistic non-batshit Republicans that he's an electable moderate Mass. governor who can win a general election. He was a fake who could convince everyone in his party, but few else. If the primaries had produced a normal standup moderate Republican in the vein of Bob Dole, Obama would've been creamed given the state of our economy and the unpopularity of Obamacare.
