I'm hoping this is the year the small-government Republicans will throw up their hands and vote Libertarian or Constitutionalist. Sure, that might throw the election to Kerry the way Nader did for Bush last time, but so what? Even if you think Kerry is pond scum, what's he going to do that's worse than Bush? Run record deficits? Give illegal aliens a free pass? Throw money at the National Endowment for the Arts?
If you find Kerry and Bush to both be unpalatable, you might as well cast a vote which makes a statement. If 20-25% of the votes went to a small-government candidate, it would send a powerful message.

I was going to vote Bush- as I had in my signiture. But there has just been too many problems with his administration. The abuse scandal shows this. Something is just not right.
