Chums,

I might have voted for McCain eight years ago, maybe even four years ago, had he run. But now he's too old for me, and his Vice Presidential pick, Palin, doesn't do it for me. So for a time I had pretty much resigned myself to Obama. I think he's the better choice of the two. He'd probably make a pretty good President. But truth is, he's not exactly my style either. So I'm thinking about going for a third party candidate. Nader seems too goofy for me so I might go with the Libertarian candidate. I don't know who the Libertarian Party candidate is but I'm something of a libertarian so I'm thinking of going that way. I dismiss the notion that a vote for a third party is a vote wasted. The notion that my one vote will swing the election to McCain or Obama is of course silly. A vote for a third party candidate, or probably more accurately, a third party political philosophy, is a perfectly good use of a vote. It some ways it can have more clout than one more vote added on to the heap of millions of votes going to McCain or Obama.

So if you are dissastisfied with the major party candidates, why not go with a third party?

Your Buddy,
