To put it in extreme terms, I'd much rather vote for the candidate who thinks I ought to be tried first rather than the other candidate who thinks I should be taken out and shot outright.

Of course, I could always register my protest by voting for the Lone Ranger, even though I know he'll never make it in time.

If I vote for the candidate who thinks I should have a trial, at leaes I have a chance, however slim it might be.
