Despite the fact that there may be a non-Huckster Libertarian, Constitutional, or Independent candidate coming this summer, at the end of the day, the result of that candidacy will be the election of either Mrs. Clinton or Obama. If that is the way you want it, I certainly respect your choice.

The desire is that neither candidate have a mandate. Clinton did not have a mandate in 1992; how much did he manage to get done even with a Democrat House and Senate? Voting third party may give Democrats a win, but it will never give them a mandate.

Oh, well that’s OK then. President Obama without a mandate is better than McCain with or without a mandate. I fail to see the advantage of that, but if you say so....If that is the way you want it, I certainly respect your choice and your right to vote to elect a mandate-free Dem.
