I tackled this very issue from the usual perspective on my podcast:

“Obama vs. McCain and the Future of the Empire”

thanks, nez. voters in ny (or any other state that has fushion voting) should remember that a vote for obama (and all other candidates) on the working families party line allows you to support a (locally-powerful) third party while still giving obama your vote. for those not in swing states, it’s hard to argue with a vote for a third party candidate, though at least to me it’s a different story in the states still up for grabs.

I’ll admit that since I don’t live in a swing state, I am almost willing to vote outside the standard two party system. I’ve done it before here pero with the stakes so high, nationally it almost feels like a betrayal, even though I have strong problems with Obama. My disgust with McCain is greater though.

I’m still not 100% sure how I’ll pull the lever on Marted save that I will not be voting McCain

Thanks for this! I was just poking around the web, reading biographies of those old nineteenth-century Utopian socialists. Our of the mud rises the water-lily.
