So the individual who loves to sit here and call everyone else sheep just follows the herd and votes mainly so their vote can count, instead of a vote you might truly believe in. LOL I've always voted for who I like, and who I'd like to see win. I like crandc's quote about it being better to vote for what you want....
While I admire Crandc for voting for her party, I am not tied to one and I make no apologies. I vote for a candidate who has a chance of winning and will do the best job, IMHO. Perhaps that is worthy of scorn, but it works for me. Beats being a sheep.
That is a very fair point to make. However, I have rarely seen a third party candidate who is a better choice in my opinion. .
A number of years ago, I spent about a month and half in the boatyard in San Leandro finishing out a yacht I was about to launch. While I was there a truck delivered this big black Ketch with the name El Negro Grande painted on the stern. A couple day later the yard boat lift hauled this boat over to the launching pier with this fellow sitting on deck wearing a Leopard skin cape looking in ever respect like Shaka with a New Orleans band accompanying him to the christening. I muttered out as they passed, "Holy Shit! Who is that?". The fellow with the boat next to mine responded, "That's the SnowMan!". Apparently everyone knew him. I would be upset too if I lived in Oakland.
That is a fair point too. I think if any of the third parties had a legitimate chance of winning they'd be able to recruit better candidates. I used to vote for a libertarian, but only because he worked at the Plaid Pantry by my house. I still see his name once in a while so I throw him a vote. Cool dude.
