But I’m wondering if those who are refusing to vote for McCain see themselves at all in this.

As I said, they often say they are not responsible for the election of the other guy when they bail on the election or cast a protest vote.

But the big world out there thinks otherwise. It is what it is.

So, I’m wondering, if a person feels justified in refusing to vote for a particular nominee, what’s the problem with admitting that, thereby, they are helping the other guy get elected? What’s up with always trying to “blame” someone else for the result of the election?


Because it is only the loser candidate that makes the issue “a vote for a Third Party candidate is a vote for my opponent”

This is the immature loser whine everytime a 3d Party candidate comes along. Its never the mainstream party candidate sucking so bad

Third party votes never cost anyone an election. Being a bad candidate always does

By no means this is an endorsement for Nader....he actually is no different than McCain, Hillary or Obama.

Would like to see a good CONSERVATIVE third party candidate run

There were good conservatives running in the primaries, but hardly anyone voted for them. Why would we expect to see a great upwelling of support if they ran on a third party ticket?
