Who, in your opinion, would you vote for on a 3rd party ticket? Either this year or in 2016?

If I thought there was even a .00001% chance of it working, I'd vote for Gary Johnson, even though I don't totally line up to his beliefs. It'd just be nice to break this 2 party system which is obviously not working.

Bloomberg.....if you had asked me a few years ago, I would have said yes. But now that I see him banning sodas, trying to ban infant formula to force women into breastfeeding, and all the other nanny state crap he's doing, no way.

I'm just about in the same exact boat as you. I'd still urge you to go out and vote for Johnson. It isnt about him winning, it is about showing the major parties that people are willing to go vote against them, and showing the third party candidates that there is support for them out there. If they dont see support, we will just be stuck with two awful candidates in 2016 again.

Just voted for Rocky Anderson and the Justice Party today (Gary Johnson is way too much "you're on your own" for me. Obama has WA big time wrapped up, if this was a battleground state, I would have chose Obama.

It is not really about the third party candidate winning, it is about scaring the hell out of Wall St by showing a decent turnout. Ross Perot scared government so badly they damn near balanced the Federal Budget during Clinton's administration because they were afraid the people were actually starting to understand what Perot was saying.
The effects were felt across the whole economy from a strengthening dollar to $.99 cent gas.
The third party candidate does not have to win to cause change. Ross Perot only got 15% of the vote, but that was enough to get the powers that be goose stepping.
Please make your vote count - vote 3rd party!
