BAD idea!
This would only weaken Romney and might even tip the vote in a “safe” state.

There are NO safe states;every vote is needed to establish a strong mandate to reverse the evil and socialist policies and arrogant executive orders of obama.

PLEASE,no one waste a vote on any third party candidate.

This election is truly one of life and death for freedom,the unborn,and America.

Look, all the polling indicates that although the electoral vote count is up in the air (swing states), at this pt it looks strong that Romney will win the popular vote...

With this appearance of already winning the popular vote, a few more thousand votes isn't going to create a "greater mandate" for policy change than that!

That's like saying, "Well, we've already cooked this meat @ the # of degrees needed to cook it for the right amount of time, but we better burn it just to make sure."

You're undergirding a myth nobody buys that a few thou more votes than otherwise somehow makes some national impact upon a "mandate" -- as if only those few thousand voters control a nation-wide perception on what's a "mandate" and what isn't...

Ridiculous...

PLEASE,no one waste a vote on any third party candidate.

If EVERY vote for a third-party candidate constitutes a "wasted vote," then every vote for Romney in 10 blue states where Obama got 60% or more of the 2008 vote is likewise a "wasted vote"...In both cases, you're voting for a losing cause in that particular state...And we know there are 10 extremely solid blue states ... + D.C.

You have no consistency in your claims

I’m with you! Third party doesn’t have a chance and with the polls so close in states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, we can’t afford to lose any votes!
