I am going to vote for Kerry of course because he is the only person who has a good chance of beating dubya, anyone else would just split the vote. I don't really see any way around it, though. I don't think that a 3d party candidate will ever win a presidential election. People are too party dedicated. Like I think that most of the people voting for Bush are only doing so because he is a republican, not because of his track record.

You're right about W to a degree. Some folks actually think he's a GOOD president just because he didn't have any public indiscretions during his tenure in office. Someone actually told me they'd rather have an idiot as opposed to a liar/adulterer and I shook my head and thought is getting a little head really tantamount to killing 1000 of our soldiers, lying about the weapons of mass destruction, sounding like a complete idiot every time they open their mouth and having us so economically distraught it's almost like Reaganomics were back in effect?
As for third parties, with the right candidate they MIGHT win an election but it's going to have to be someone universally loved, trusted and respected. Thus far no one stands out.
