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.

I have a real problem with this post. You live in a democracy..a country that other smaller nationalities look up to, and yet! you say that a vote, is 'wasted' if it's not for one of the two primary parties?

Ok, that vote may not elect your choice of candidate. But it is CERTAINLY NOT wasted.

The essence of democracy is freedom of choice.

Let the populice decide.
But don't ever suggest that a person should be brow beaten into voting for the two front runners in a five horse race.

IT'S A WASTED VOTE !

We do NOT live under a parliamentary type system; ergo, voting fringe party takes away vote from some, in one of the two major parties and gives it to the other in absentia.That you ares unable to comprehend this, is your problem.

Oh yes, and we do NOT live in a "democracy", as you claim! We live in a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC !
