I was dissapointed badnarik was the only 3rd party on my ballot. Maybe an attempt by the democrats to own the liberal vote? Or maybe an attempt to shift the paradigm of thought more to the right? Maybe I'm overanalyzing...

There were a couple interesting things to me about the ballot I filled out:
1. Ralph Nader wasn't on it.
2. They listed Michael Peroutka as American Independent, not Constitution Party. I don't know if they're the same thing, or someone just fucked up.
3. Judge Jim Gray(Libertarian) was at the top of the list for Senator.

Nader, Cobb, and the dozens upon dozens of 3rd party candidates did not make your ballot because they failed to raise enough signatures as required by your state law - no conspiracy.

Heh only the most coveted swing state in the country. Did you notice a lot of campaign ads on tv or candidates rallying in your area or anything like that that you felt was more prevalent because of you being a swing state?

Didn't see this coming at all -- awesome job. Out of curiosity, what made you decide to go with Badnarik over Cobb and Nader?

Nader wasn't even on the ballot in my state(!).
Tell you the truth, I probably would have voted for Badnarik anyway. The things that you guys have posted really impressed me and I feel that the Libertarian party is a lot more organized than Nader. The Libertarian party will be around a lot longer than Nader. Thanks Ancal.

Please tell me you don't live in a swing state, LF. If you do, you've officially contributed to the problem, not the solution.

No, I don't live in a swing state. I probably would have voted 3rd party anyway.
Why? Because Bush isn't going to be a lot worse than any future Republicans. I want to escape the cycle of voting for the big two NOW(well actually, I voted 3rd party my first two times as well).

Few Republicans go out and invade Muslim countries though.
Frankly, the only difference I see in Liberals and Libertarians are economic differences - in other words it is only a domestic difference. With a President like George W. Bush, people owe the world a favor and an apology by electing someone other than Bush - 3rd party votes in the end are a vote for Bush. Even if you did live in a swing state you would have voted 3rd party? After the thousands of Muslims Bush has murdered... well, that's just weak.

I'm guessing it might have to do with drug policy. Learyfan has said here many times that the Drug War is his biggest issue, and since Badnarik has the best position on drug policy, this decision doesn't surprise me too much.

We actually had quite a few Liberterian candidates on our ballot (Texas).
Had my vote had the possibility of even making a difference I would have voted for Bush.........most likely, I didn't give it alot of thought.

Yeah, that a definite. The Libertarian party seems a lot more passionate about ending the drug war than Nader does.
zahudulallah: I don't know what to tell you man. I do see it from your point of view. I'm just not convinced that the next Republican will be much different than Bush. The next one will probably kill a lot of Muslims as well. So since we'll never have a Democrat or Republican who is for the people instead of the corporations, i'm voting against both of them NOW.

I think he got something like 12,000 votes here in florida, and 14,000 in ohio. Even if those who didnt vote Bush or Kerry did place a Kerry vote it wouldnt be close. I hope the numbers keep rising.
