W@rong. Its one less vote for McCain, who needs every vote we can give him to defeat the truly evil One.

Look what voting for Perot did, it gave us Clinton.

A vote for any third party is a wasted vote.

A vote for any third party is a wasted vote.

Voting for someone who votes for $700 billion plus of bailouts would be a wasted vote for me.

As for Clinton, allowing tax increases when you promised not to do so is what got him. When people read your lips they expect the promise to be kept.

When you put forward a "Contract With America", the people expect contracts to be kept. That is why Republicans lost the Congress.

In this case the "moderates" in the party selected their most "moderate" and media-beloved candidate. Which is what they have been trying to do for years. But even the most "moderate" Republican is castigated as an evil racist, and the media-belovedness doesn't last beyond the primaries, and long support for amnesty doesn't translate to much of a change in the hispanic vote. Who knew!!!

McCain could be winning now if he had stood with 90% of the American people against the bailout and demanded market-oriented solutions. He couldn't.

I vote for the candidate that reflects my positions. It is not my fault if that is a third party this year. Republicans can easily regain my vote, and those of Reagan Democrats by returning to the Reagan vision and nominating people who share it.

Read the post, if you live in a battleground state it says vote for McCain, decided states like Illinois and Tennessee vote for Baldwin

Only based on your subjective parameters.

I made my choice.

And it may surprise you.

But having said, that, this is FReeRepublic here.

People are free on this forum to vote for WHOMEVER they want as Electors pledged to whichever candidate.

They are free to vote for Electors pledged to McCain.

They are free to vote for Electors pledged to Barr.

They are free to vote for Electors pledged to Baldwin.

And you are free to button your lip and respect their right. Is this understood?
