I will write in Newt Gingrich even if the courts give the establishment cover to not count my vote. The sin is theirs.
Greetings Tom,
Might I suggest another option. Since the GOP establishment has seen fit to lock out the other candidates, to wit Gingrich and Santorum in order to
gaurantee the Virginia primary goes to Romney, the only practical way to defeat their plan is to vote for the NOT ROMNEY candidate on the ballot.
That would be Ron Paul. When you think about it, he’s the obvious choice.
Everyone knows that Ron Paul has no chance to secure the nomination. Indeed, he has as much said so. He sees himself as more of libertarian standard bearer, and as such needs suitable platforms such as the debates and the upcoming Republican National Convention to get his message out. He is afforded these venues because of a fairly large base of support, especially among the youth.
Even though winning the Virginia primary would have no real effect on Paul’s ability to secure the nomination, he can still play spoiler to Romney by denying him those delegates should he pull off an upset. Imagine the turmoil among the beltway elite should that happen, their mr. clean electability machine beaten by crazy old uncle, Ron Paul. I’m not sure Romney and the Republican establishment could ever recover from the embarrassment. Heads would roll! Mass hysteria would be unleashed.
Vote for Ron Paul in Virginia, then sit back and watch the fun begin.
