[jonathans]

Have any on you hashed it out already?

edit .Sorry, didn't see the other thread.

i like it
find someone who thinks obama is the lesser evil, and pair them with someone who thinks mccain is, and both vote 3rd

I like it. I'm going to try it out on my BFF. :D

I would only do it if it was done via absentee ballot. Voting in the booths is anonymous and people lie.

It sounds remarkably simple. Who doesn't know at least one trustworthy person who's unhappily voting for "the other" side? If you'd grudgingly vote for McCain and they'd grudgingly vote for Obama, pair up and vote third party instead. Sure, there will be some people who say they're going to pair up and then secretly vote for McBama instead anyway, but unless one side's voters are generally less trustworthy than the other side's, these pact-breaker votes would, in aggregate, cancel each other out.

I also like the "you're not voting for the lesser of two evils, but the evil of two lessers."
