I really don't care who you vote for as long as you vote!! But make it count...Think twice before throwing it away, this year, make it count!

I hear what you are saying, but I don't feel that voting 3rd party is throwing away my vote. It is making a point that we want more options in the future. Honestly, in my opinion, Obama doesn't need my vote to win. I do believe he already has it in the bag. Am I happy about that? I don't know. I have been on the fence for so long and I have leaned one way or the other and back several times. But now I have just become completely turned off by both campaigns. So, while I understand your passion, Obama will be president and I hope and pray that he knows what he's doing.

I have to say I take great offense to your comment that a vote for a 3rd party is throwing it away. I'd say voting for the lesser of two evils for the sake of keeping the greater evil out of office would be throwing my vote away. I will vote third party because I believe in my heart of hearts it is the right thing to do. I have researched the candidates and have considered how their values will affect our nation. I will vote for the candidate who I feel will best serve this country. I refuse to believe that because the press only concentrates on two candidates that my choices are limited to those two. I would recommend that everybody does the necessary research when deciding who will receive their vote. Don't rely on the debates just what the local press reports. It's your responsibility to cast an educated vote.
