That simply isn't the case, Mindbender, although I respect the point you're trying to get across. What you meant to say was "those are the two standard, preferred choices." (Or something like that.)
However, in reality, I "CAN" vote Virgil Goode here in Ohio. His name really will be on the ballot. It really will tally under his name. And really, neither Obama nor Romney will be able to claim that vote for themselves.
Therefore, it is a "real" choice. It really does exist.
And I really will vote for The Constitution Party candidate, Goode. (Who, incidentally, is the only conservative in the race.)
Hear, hear!!!
