No, it isn't. A vote for a different party doesn't magically become a vote for Obama, and it doesn't "take a vote away" from Romney.

You can keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. I'm not buying it (and in your heart, you're probably not buying it either).

My heart? In my heart, I’ve always known that the reality of the situation is that a vote for a third party is not in any way a vote for either of the two major party candidates. Period.
