i've heard the "3rd party = throwing vote away" every election, and it has always rung hollow. voting for a 3rd party is about asking the big 2 to court your vote in a future election by shifting policies towards that 3rd party. you ought to vote for the guy you think would do best, always.

think the democrats don't care enough about the environment? vote green, if enough people vote green, the democrats will start shifting their platform towards those people to get them on board. this, of course, applies to the republicans: do you think the republicans aren't concerned enough about social policy? probably not, 'cause you're reading slashdot. but, if you were, you can vote for the constitution party. if the republicans can find more votes there than they can in the middle, they'll shift that way.
