I will never vote 3rd party again. (I have done it several times). I think it ruins a ‘pretty good’ choice and puts in a VERY BAD choice. The Republic is too fragile to risk that, ever.

Are you still trying to sell that "lesser of two evils" fantasy? We got majorities in the US Senate and HOR, and what did they give us? More evil than when they were a minority!

I'd go with Webb unless there's a viable 3rd part alternative. Why? From everything I've read (granted, not all that much) he's a decent man. Jeb and Christie and anyone who backstabbed the conservative base are not.

My thinking is based on a kind of modified Hobson’s choice of taking neither bad option and defaulting to none in the form of a third party choice. The likely outcome (Bush or Webb) would be meaningless in terms of what I really wanted so the third party chocie would seem to be a logical civic action.
