Seriously, what is with this ludicrous concept that you're supposed to vote for a person you think will win? From what I've come to understand of American elections, third party candidates are not much more than a formality, and people who actually vote for them are mocked even by people who think the candidates for both major parties aren't a good choice. It's like the average American equals voting to betting or associates a candidate's victory with a personal victory. That's like denying yourself democracy because it's fashionable to do so. It really boggles my mind.
