So the reason to vote for Romney is that he is lesser of an evil than Obama. I would contend that Ron Paul is lesseer than an evil than Obama. Therefore, there is no difference between Romney and Paul. Correct?

No, you are incorrect. There is a huge difference between Romney and Paul. Paul will fall go to the RNC well over 1,000 delegates short of having enough to get the GOP nomination. Romney will go to the convention with enough delegates to secure the nomination with a comfortable margin. Paul has zero chance of becoming president. Romney has roughly a 50-50 chance of becoming president, as does the worst incumbent president ever to run for a second term.

If I still had an opportunity to vote for Santorum in a primary election, I would do so to send a message to Romney. If I had voted in the Virginia primary, which I skipped because only Romney and Paul were on the ballot, I would have voted for Paul to send the same message to Romney. However, there is no way that I will be casting a protest vote in the general election and help return a true socialist to the White House for a second term.

Ron Paul, as President would be the lesser of two evils if the option was Obama, but that will not be an option come November. I will be surprised if Ron Paul does not endorse Romney at the convention before or during a speech in which he articulates his positions to the delegates.

In the 2008 campaign, RINO John McCain and his hatchet man, Mike Huckabee. treated Ron Paul very badly during several debates. I have been disappointed with Romney's campaign this year but he has treated Paul with respect, just as he did during the 2008 campaign, and Paul has been respectful of Romney in return.

I could vote for myself in November because of my own libertarian views but my chances of becoming president are about the same as Ron Paul's.
