or we can choose to vote for someone who has a chance to win.

I don't understand why you don't want people to vote for the candidate that represents them.

Some might like Perot to punish Bush 41 and thereby we all get Clinton.

Voting for our own "favorite person" therefore may not be best if we want to avoid suffering another Clinton type.

Like Joe Lieberman may vote with the Democrats in the Senate. His first vote may be for Harry Reid's crowd.
