Appreciate the post. I'm trying to decide whether to join a 3rd party or stay republican. I know the usual rap on 3rd parties is "you're just wasting your vote." But doesn't this article show you're wasting your vote by voting for Bush?

It's hard to leave the party I've supported for so many years. I've worked and campaigned and donated to the Republicans forever. I wonder if I won't have more influence staying put and trying to get in good Republicans and then voting 3rd party in the election.

Here in Utah, there is a caucus system and a closed primary and I hate to give up my influence by leaving.
