Answered I'm still going to write him in anyway
I don't know...as a libertarian, I'm not that impressed with Bob Barr. He voted for the patriot act, was a huge supporter of the war on drugs and has flipped flopped on something as simple as use of medical marijuana. I don't really feel he's a trustworthy candidate. -
Bob Bar wants off-shore drilling, and drilling on the Alaskan refuge. He is a man that speaks his mind without researching his thoughts! I'm voting for Ron Paul! I hope that he atleast takes the Independent ticket. Bob Bar already said that he would drop out if Ron Paul ran as an Independent.

Answered I suppose Obama gets my vote because
I liked a lot of what I heard from Ron Paul - But I was never a close follower, despite my living here in Texas. I suppose that when I am pretty certain someone is a real long shot I don't give them much of the time of day. Just like Ralph Nader, who I really like a lot. It is unfortunate, and perhaps I am part of the problem as a result. But there is just no indication there would be any reward in giving them a vote at this point. It would only serve to take away from someone else and then I may be very unhappy with the results of that decision.
We do very much need to escape this 2 party system nightmare, I am just not sure yet how we do that. I think the best shot right now is independent, and not Green, Libertarian or other. The idea of being independent is the sweetest part of finding someone new - no ties to any party, and with any luck no ties to a special interest, just a free thinker.
I hope we see this happen soon, I think we are on the verge and I only hope it continues. For now I have to cast my vote based upon who will go further to unite, to promote civil rights and to reduce the power of at least some of the corporations (particularly oil). For those reasons, and the extraordinary importance of the upcoming Supreme Court Justice nomination(s) I absolutely have to vote for Barack Obama.
The rights of women depend upon it, and of the two major candidates (one of which WILL win) I also prefer to avoid war mongering in our immediate future.

Iwho's done more for civil rights than nader?
I agree that we need more than two sides of the same coin, but the inherent problem with having a third party is a mathematical one. with tres fiestas it only takes 34% of the voters who actually vote (us national voter turn out average = 37%) to decide the 'majority'.
I know this, but still I can't see a good reason not to vote for the one that represents me best and besides, I've always hated math. -
If you didn't vote for the two front runner, you are not taking anything away from them. If you vote for Ron Paul you are sending a positive message that we are sick of being lied to by both parties. We want change, and every vote for Ron Paul will impact this change. Ron Paul said himself-this revolution is not about one man. We need to show our support even if you think that he doesn't have a chance. If his votes increase from the primary outcome-it will send a big message, and will make Ron Paul a more attractive option in the next election. Especially if this war is not over in four years! Join the revolution!

Answered I guess I'll vote for McCain because
Two liberals in a pod, they will more than likely run the Country in the same manner. John McCain is more moderate than Obama is who is far far left, I have never ever voted for a candidate that was any thing other than a conservative so I don't know what I'm going to do honestly.
