In a system that locks out all voices other than Democrats and Republicans, if I didn't want the candidate from either of those two groups elected, I would abstain from voting as the very act of protest against the system. A vote for any other candidate is marginalized into nothingness - effectively wasting my time and the candidates time.
In fact, I could have voted in the 4 previous Presidential elections, but this is the first time I will be voting.
I believe I will, to some degree, regret it in a few months. Though not as much as I would regret a McCain victory.
