Illinois = Vote Libertarian. Smaller government is a big issue; we're being destroyed by our national debt, and in the next 20 or 30 years Medicare and Social Security will collapse. Since that will be right around middle age for me, and I'd rather not have my retirement fund destroyed halfway to retirement, I'd like to see some Libertarians gain office at some point.
Of course, it's not going to happen this year, but if the Libs carry like 5% of the vote people might think twice about them being non-contenders and actually vote the way they want to, rather than being stuck in 2-party mode.
If I lived in Florida or Ohio, though, I'd vote Kerry.
