Stop Me Before I Vote Again

not to be prig -ish
but to me a tally of third party votes
speaks louder then no shows

to make the effort to go and deliberately vote against either of the tango twins
strikes me as optimal

btw
i must admit

don't blame me
i voted for neither

under a barred disc picture
of a donk kissing
a pachy's ass
while the pachy's trunk is up the donk's ass

leaves a blur where
the simple no go
refulges with
a sharp drop out edge

Your point, sir, is well taken . . . but . . .

Where are these third parties? The Peace and Freedom Party exists only in California; The Populists are furtive and suspect; The Greens have only small pockets of strength (and a Green just dropped out of a congressional race to support the Democrat); The Libertarians, well you know; etc etc etc . . .

Perhaps an increase in third party votes in this mid-term election will send some sort of message, but I don't see a third party really having any impact in '08. There may be another Nader, but that's a third candidate, not a third party.

The problems with third candidate campaigns are (1) the candidate and the "party" are indistinguishable and (2) when the candidate loses the party goes away.
