Just want to interject - as long as the "crappy choices" continue to garner votes, you will continue to get more of the same. Really, why change the system if it "works"?

Unfortunately, there are those of us who aren't wild about any of the choices, including third parties. I've said it before, if there was a third party that could really engage me, this is the first year I'd consider voting for it. However, I don't really like any of the third party choices - my ideas sometimes stray into Libertarian territory, but I'm not a Barr fan.

Yeah, Barr is a problem for me, so I'm leaning towards Baldwin. I guess my comment was geared more to all those voters who hate the two "crappy" choices, but won't even look at ANY third party candidates.
Is there a politican out there that you WISH were running for president? Someone you could support, but who is not a candidate?

There will only be two Presidential candidates on the ballot in Oklahoma. We have some of the toughest ballot access laws in the state. To be eligible, you have to either circulate a petition which achieves a number equal to a certain percentage of the last presidential ballot cast OR you have to have had 5% in the previous election.
There was a time in our state' history, way back, when the Democratic party was the only party allowed on the ballot.

I don't like Barr, or Nader, the others I've seen haven't really tanked out.
I was a Clark supporter, but then he won some primaries but then decided to quit, so that's kind of hard to get behind.
Really, there's no one. I like my congressman. I would vote for him if he were running, I guess. But seriously, we are the leaders of the free-world we should have better candidates.
