No thanks. I want my general election vote to actually make a difference. Squandering it on uncompetitive 3rd party's, vanity candidates or write-in's is a total waste in my opinion. If the GOP nominated a platypus for President, I would vote for it as the only alternative with any chance of defeating our current dog eater President.
Saying that, I am from Virginia and know of Virgil Goode. I do believe him to be a good man. He is actually the only Democrat vote I ever cast. It was in a Democrat primary in the 90's when he was running for Senate. I am an NRA member and the organization encouraged us to vote for him over the far more liberal incumbent Democrat (Robb I believe it was). It's an open primary here, so even conservatives could vote. Didn't work out, but I don't regret taking the time out to support him. I don't think 3rd party's will ever work in our winner take all, no coalition building system, but if I did I'd certainly consider Goode from what I know of him.
Hell, some of us want our primary vote to make a difference. You do know that some folks haven't voted in the primary yet, right?
Funny how those rules and court cases and dirty tricks work out.

I know. I lived in Goode’s district of Virginia. He is no longer a democrat. He is more conservative than Romney. The ex Chairwoman of the Prince Edward Co. GOP went to work for Goode in the 90’s after Allen won Governor.
I was so thrilled when Virginia finally got rid of Chuckie! remember his mistress at VA Bch? he has sure been silent ..hasn’t he..all but fell off the face of the earth.
