It is that "throwing away a vote" sentiment that has kept us a two party system. I can vote third party and not feel like that, since here in Oregon the election has already been called before I even hit the polls.

Wrong. It's the reality of 'throwing away a vote,' not the sentiment. Unless a party can win a good lot of the time, it's going to die, in a first-past-the-post winner-take-all system.

Will you be voting for Gary Johnson, John McAfee or Jesse Ventura?

I could live with it but will America?

Robbin I am quite sure that you are right but I would suggest that is only in America. When I was still working in Canada there was a 0.8% surcharge on my taxable income and the family plan in Ontario cost me $54 per month. Here Medicare costs me as an individual $128.50 per month and the supplement another $307 per month. Oh and prescription drugs are less than half of what we pay here.

Jesse is a bit too far out there for me. Still undecided between the two.

I find myself becoming more and more likely to go with TRump... still, as much as I dislike Hillary... it's probably who I'll vote for.

If it comes down to the Clintonista Cartel vs. Trump, I'll vote straight "D", but only because I'm in Alabama. In my heart, I'll be pulling for Trump.

This whole election is a can of crap. The only thing that makes it bearable is trying to figure out which conspiracy is in play....................
I will not vote for Hillary, I doubt I could vote for Cruz or Blow hard either.
I can hope for unseen events

I'll do Hillz over the feckless Kartoon Kandidate and the wackadoodle smarmy Jesus weasel du jour. The Dem's could have this election on a silver platter with a halfway acceptable candidate, Bernie is too weird to the common man (and Trump isn't?) and Hillz is self inflicted damaged goods.

To follow up;
Between the Pubs' heritage of social regressivism, crypto racism from the absorbsion of the Dixiecrats, and their cosyness with the radically religious as baggage, I cannot vote for any Republican candidate as a matter of personal ethics and self-interest.
