It's terrible about the idea that a vote for any 3rd party is considered a vote "thrown away", but it's a sad fact nonetheless. It's the media. It's the hard-wired partisanship of the majority of the voting populace. These 3rd party members aren't allowed in the debates... they have virtually no campaign presence on any media (save for the internet, of course)... And this has lead to stagnation in both of the majority parties - and by extension, stagnation in the US.
Anyways, back on topic... while I'm not "pro" Obama by any means, if there's one thing I'm absolutely certain about in this election, it's that McCain can't be trusted. At all. At least for me. He's a liar (or at the very least, very forgetful) with his nearly constant flip-flopping, and all of his distorted ads; a creationist, and thus an idiot of true form; a Bush supporter (add another mark to "idiot"); a proponent of meaningless wars and hard-headed politics; the disgusting "Keating 5" mess; and he's doing a great job of showing how incompetent he is with the whole Palin fiasco. I have less than no confidence in this man, and so I'll vote for Obama to keep him out of our White House.
