If you want a third party candidate such as Nader or Cobb to get a vote but at the same time want Bush to lose, check out http://votepair.org/ The way it works is that a third-party supporter in a swing state like Wisconsin is paired with a Kerry supporter in a state where Bush will win, such as Texas. The Texan will agree to vote for the third party candidate and give them a popular vote, and in return the Wisconsinite will vote for Kerry to help the Democrats get electoral votes. You could look at it as a way of beating the flawed electoral college system (and yes, it's legal). And for those who are liberal but don't like the Democratic candidate, it's like voting for Kerry without denting your conscience.

Kerry and third party-ists (is that a word?), unite!

Still your thoughing away your vote on someone you don't want to vote for. Essentally your accepting that your vote might not matter as a partisan vote.

Why not just vote partisan then ?
