2. This election could be close. Please don't throw away votes on candidates that don't have a chance.

The fact is, the election will come down to a choice between President Obama and Mitt Romney, just like in 2000, the choice was between Vice President Gore and G W Bush. People thinking about voting third party, don't deceive yourselves. I was heartbroken when Bush won in 2000 and heart broken when he won again in 2004 by the thinnest of margins. What I learned is that decisions have consequences, the decision of 96,000+ people in Florida to vote for Ralph Nader damaged this country so badly that years of effective Presidential leadership will be required just to undo that damage.
