Actually, if I were you, I'd vote for whomever the heck I liked anyway.

Figure, pundits are saying this should be the closest presidential race since 1960. If either Gore or Bush wins on electoral votes but loses on popular votes, at least there's a good chance of pissing enough people off that we can change the Constitution and ditch the Electoral College.

Like I said... "if I were you". Which I'm not... so do your own thing. Actually, the funding is a good point. Maybe you should vote Nader; if the Green party becomes more prominent, it'll split the liberal vote. ;-)

Incidentally... sure the candidates suck; but I think this is easily the most important election in 20 years, probably a fair bit longer. With four Supreme Court judges poised to retire, and two more solidly in the minority camp, things can really change... even if (as seems inevitable) the President's a big weenie.

Btw, now that I think of it: am I the only person that really wishes the two big party running-mates were the major party candiates?
