I have really struggled over whom to vote for this election. Therefore, this weekend I decided to do an informal trade study. I first listed the issues most important to me. The only criteria on the issues was there had to be 7 or less. My theory was any issue below the 7 could not be important enough to influence my decision. Then for each issue I listed the candidate most likely to work for a favorable (in my opinion) resolution to the issue:
- Environment – Obama
- Climate change – Obama
- Energy crisis – Obama
- Health care – Romney
- Economy – Romney
- Foreign affairs – too close to call
- Change is good (throw the bums out) Romney
- Immigration (had to add number 8 because of the tie) – Romney
Romney wins the trade study and I live in Texas. Therefore, I cast my vote for Romney. Why Texas you ask? Because Texas is an uber-red state so my vote did not count anyway. Therefore, if Obama wins I help push Romney’s popular vote higher and maybe, just maybe he wins the popular vote and loses the election. Now that would send a real message to the bums in D.C. that we are really fed up!
