When you vote for a person you really don't want to win just so the other person loses. Say your WORST enemy was one of the people to vote for and you even thought he would be much better than the other person--you still vote for the other person. Example: Of course I voted for Al, even though I don't care at all for him or his positions. He was running against Chris, for God's sake! Perhaps a bit hipocratic, but what else could I do? Chris is vermin.
