news:a%pWc.76075$TI1.45999@attbi_s52... Well, I'm hoping to see Richard Campagna (http://www.badnarik.org/campagna_bio.php) in Iowa one of these days. He and his running mate, Michael Badnarik, are starting to look like the only viable alternatives for my vote. Until we fix the voting system in the US, a vote for anyone other than the two major candidates is really just a vote against the person you'd have otherwise voted for. And of course, that's exactly the opposite of what you really want. If you genuinely couldn't care less which of the two major candidates gets elected, then I suppose you might as well vote for some other random person. No different than staying home, or leaving that race unvoted on your ballot. Certainly no better though. I've always been a bit puzzled that the independent parties don't stop wasting time putting up candidates for races they'll never win, drawing votes from the major candidate most closely aligned with their thinking. It's counterproductive. They'd do much better working on the voting process first, so that third-party races were actually viable rather than disruptive. I, for one, would love to be able to vote for someone other than a Rep or Dem in a way that was actually meaningful. Pete |
