Dear Mr. 468 The reason I believe throwing your vote away on a none electable candidate is a dumb move is; in a close race, every vote counts. If you vote for say Paul and he gets 300,000 votes and the candidate you hate wins by 290,000 votes, those 300,00 votes have just decided the election. The actual ratio may not be exact but you should see that in such a race as the Bush-Gore race, those 300,000 votes decided the race. I'll admit that no candidate is perfect and even with all the internet hype about Paul, there were some little known facts that would have helped the corporations and weakened the workers rights and made the middle class a thing of the past. Everyone has there reasons for who they vote for, and that is all well and good. Reasoning that the person that you think is the worst candidate may get elected if you vote for the one you really want and throw your vote away, may be the most intelligent thing you can do, Vote Obama-08
