Vote Democrat directly instead of some third party time waster.Your irrational act would be the same and a bit more honest.

Actually, that's incorrect electoral mathematics.

A switch from GOP to a third party is a one vote swing.

A switch from GOP to Dem is a two vote swing.

Consider this example:

A small town has 22 voters (any number will do). There are 11 Republicans, 10 Democrats, and 1 Independent voting for Mayor, along party lines.

If one GOP vote switches to Independent, the tally is 10 R, 10 D, and 2 I. That's a one vote swing, leaving the Pubbie and the Dem in a tie.

If a GOP vote switches to Dem, the tally is 10 R, 11 D, and 1 I. That's a two vote swing, and the Dem wins.

Saber, I am not sure about your math, but you do make a point. I still believe that third party hysterics are wasted tantrums.

We'll continue to agree to disagree on some things.

Thanks again.
