[Vision2020] third party candidates

[Dave]

Well put Paul!

For the fist time in my life I still haven't decided who to vote for.   
Since 2000 I have been voting Green and really appreciate that for the 
first time my vote actually counts for something instead of being pissed 
away in a red state electoral collage.  The Green party is close to the 
15% required to automatically be on the ballot in all the states so I 
want to give them my vote for that reason. But Rocky Anderson is great! 
He is exactly what the country needs, so I want to vote for him. I may 
not decide until the ballot is in front of me....

Did anyone else listen to any of the third party debates?

Dave
