[George W. Bush]

What kind of conservative principles are those, anyway?

Because sometimes your vote is going to be wasted. But if you were in Floriduh in 2000, for instance, you had a far more meaningful and relevant vote to cast. And it was clear to FReepers by noon what the Dims were up to in many of these states. So there were states where someone intending to cast a 'safe' third-party vote could have actually influenced the outcome. The 2000 election was the closest since 1960.

It's easier to vote your principles if you're sure they won't let the true wolf into the fold. But if you're equally sure it won't, then you have a greater lattitude in voting by your principles and helping the ballot access of the party whose platform and message you prefer.

Good night, George.
