Re:Voting as a message (Score 1)

I live in a state that has just such, I will use the expression "outsiders" representing it. I completely support most of your views and opinions, when my local town has it's yearly Maple Festival Bernie Sanders is there asking people what they think and (this is where he's different) listening to the answers. And when Jim Jeffords(R) effectively told Bush to pound sand by 'becoming' independent (I feel only the title changed) he was reflected the views of his constituents, after all we re-elected him. Both of the people are considered powerless outsiders from the tiny state of Vermont (What state is that in?) and I feel both have made themselves heard and made a difference in the big picture. Peace.
