Even though we see little difference in the tax and spend authoritarian impulses of the Republicans or the Democrats, we usually will vote for the lesser of two evils so as not to waste our vote. Guys like Medved make us wonder why we bother.
I live in Ohio and voted for Stuffed Panda for governor (whoever wasn't Hagan or Taft) and omitted my vote for gun grabber Deb Pryce. Many Republicans in Ohio did the same. Otherwise, I voted R. Sometimes - not always - I held my nose to do so.
