I honestly believe that in 2008 I will walk into the voting booth, cast my votes, and leave the line for the presidential ticket blank. There is one third-party primary candidate who I am willing to vote for, he is third in his party, and I refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of a system which gives me 19 choices with which I disagree strongly enough to discount the possibility of picking one. At this point, the only way I can see myself voting is if the world turns upside-down, the Republicans nominate Huckabee or Paul, and I feel obliged to cast a vote against one of them.
