It's been mentioned a few times here that our current system of plurality voting in most states hurts third party chances because people fear that if they don't unite behind a single candidate even if they don't like him they will lose the election. Hence the whole voting for the lesser of two evils thing. So I was wondering how people here would vote if that weren't the case and we had some kind of ranking, favorability system as some have suggested. To that end I created this survey of a few possible options for this years presidential election.

I included every candidate that's on at least one official state ballot and left a place for write-ins. (Source for who's on a ballot is Wikipedia)
