"I'm writing in Ron Paul this November"
"If you didn't vote for Ron Paul, who would you vote for?"
"Romney"
"In your opinion: the worst candidate?"
"Obama"
"But you see, the opportunity cost of your vote for Paul is a vote for Romney, so by voting for Ron Paul, you are denying a vote to Romney, which in a two-candidate election, is a vote for Obama. This means the worst candiate, in your eyes, is the candidate you are voting for simply because you are voting for the candidate that you think is best."
