The disadvantage to protest votes even in states where the dominant view is different than the individual's personal one is when a candidate is elected without a plurality.

It's just a danged mess. Obama is as far left as Huckabee is far right. Maybe those two should team up. Heck, they could even have Ron Paul in that mix.....

Agree with you on Hillary. No way, Jose'.

A combo of McCain and Romney is about the only one that could make sense, IMO. It should be the other way around.

This is the only election I've voted in that I've felt as concerned and upset for the future. I think most of us feel the same way.

I can't vote for Obama, nor Hillary if she is the nominee, no matter who is the VP candidate.

I agree.

A VP candidate can be a moderate negative (because of the risk that the VP becomes president), but IMO is never a big positive. If you vote for Obama you get liberal policies whoever the VP is.
