Not necessarily, unless you actually believe that there are zero people who would not vote under any circumstances for either of the two front runners.
If you accept that there are voters who won't vote for one of those two candidates, than if those people vote for "any other person", they're certainly not dwindling the number of votes for either of the front runners.

If you're undecided about voting for Bush, then it's a vote for the democrats...obviously, no third party will win. So no vote for Bush IS a vote for the Rats.
you'd see my initial comment was addressed to yonif. Then, if you'd connect the dots, you'd have a "grasp" of what I was discussing, i.e., voting against Bush, voting for Kerry, voting for a third party, ratios, you'd see I was discussing proportions and protest votes against Bush, etc. Nowhere did I intimate that anybody who was devoutly against Bush, or Kerry, to begin with, would effect any ratios....that came out of thin air with your post.
