I want to urge my fellow Mainers to vote for the person they want.
There has been a lot of talk of “strategic voting,” where a voter looks to see which way the wind is blowing, then votes accordingly, whether they prefer the selected candidate or not. It’s all about “not letting the other guy/gal win.”
Well, you know what? If we vote for our second choice to keep our third choice from winning, the best-case scenario is that the winner will not be our first choice. In other words, we are just about guaranteeing that we will end up with a winner we did not want.
We should all vote for the candidate that we like. At least then we have a chance of getting what we want.
