Go to the grammar link and look it up: To determine whether to use whoever or whomever, here is the rule: him + he = whoever him + him = whomever Examples: Give it to whoever/whomever asks for it first. Give it to him. He asks for it first. Therefore, Give it to whoever asks for it first. http://www.grammarbook.com/grammar/whoever.asp --- In the same sense: I will be voting for whoever wins the GOP PRIMARY. I will be voting for him. He wins the GOP Primary. Therefore whoever is correct. The reason for this is while it is an object of a preposition, it is also the subject of a dependent clause. no gnu taxes  posted on  2011-09-14   13:52:50 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #55.

You are correct and I did get one bass ackwards. "I will be voting for whoever [sic] wins the GOP PRIMARY. [paraphrase] I will be voting for he who wins the GOP PRIMARY. Whoever is correct. The whole clause is the object. I believe it is a nominative (or noun) clause. nolu chan  posted on  2011-09-14   16:05:15 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #56.

To: war (#56) I'll invoke Rule #3...whatever sounds right IS right...and still declare victory... I suppose the only actual purpose of a language is to communicate and sometimes the "proper" way just sounds wrong, e.g., It is I. People just don't talk that way. Another example is the rule against ending a sentence with a preposition, of which Churchill (supposedly) remarked, "That is a rule up with which I will not put." nolu chan  posted on  2011-09-14 18:15:45 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #64.
