I dislike McCain
with a passion. Having said that, I didn't expect an intelligent citizen like you to spin the Florida Primaries into a "vote against the candidate you dislike the most" type of election.

Let
me spin it this way: You are on trial and there are three options: A is death by injection, B is death by electric shock, and C is being set free. The judge will most likely have you put to death, but he kindly asks for your opinion. Let's say you hate needles. So you choose ...B - death by electric shock? WTH? Hate for needles > Love for liberty?

It's an extremely morbid example, but that's how I see a decision to vote for Romney --- even if there's an option to choose Ron Paul on the ballot --- simply because he's more likable than McCain.
Many people have been brainwashed into voting for the "most popular candidate with the best hairstyle", but those who have taken the time to enlighten themselves and stick to their principles stick to, well, their principles. I always thought elections were held to allow people to choose the candidate that would best represent them. By voting for Romney, you are essentially saying that you think Romney is the best choice for you.
Please take a closer look at the big picture. You say if McCain wins Florida, he'll win the nomination: that's why you're voting for Romney. Do you not realize that if you cast your vote against McCain, you're also rejecting Ron Paul and his message of limited government, personal liberty, and a strong American economy?
Should Romney win Florida, what makes you think that Romney will not give his delegates to McCain at the RNC? Also, personally, I think Romney is one of the biggest threats to our campaign. He has delegates and he has the cash to last all the way through to September.
The Florida Primaries is not the end of the elections. Every single vote cast for Ron Paul (whether he wins the state or not) matters --- it gives him legitimacy and it fights the false notion that he doesn't have the numbers to back him up. Your vote for Ron Paul will convince a person in California or Maine to cast theirs for him as well. It will help him get the essential delegates needed to win. Yes, your vote against McCain will temporarily make you feel good, but it will hurt you, your fellow Ron Paul supporters, and Ron Paul in the long run. Please keep that in mind as you cast your vote.
P.S. - Sorry 'bout the long rant.
