And you call Crist and Pawlenty liberals who you won't vote for? Joke poster.

It's called strategic voting. He doesn't want the Republicans to co-sign a big government agenda, and if that's the set of options, he'd rather just have the Democrats be the ones doing it. Not hard to understand.
Thank you for the defense.  That is exactly the point.  When a big government republican is president, republicans in congress will sign on to whatever agenda they put forth.  When a democrat is president - especially if Hillary Clinton became president, they know who to oppose.  It's more difficult with Obama because some in congress are worried they will be called racist if they oppose his policies.
Even Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins would be voting against Hillary - thats how much the republicans detest and loathe the Clintons.
