    Nadar is an idiot. Barr didn't stand a chance, and I don't like Baldwin.

    it may make as lots experience for him to prefer to communicate to ME....those adult men are purely a bump. Vote for them and in result lose your vote. Nader has been working when you consider that he became youthful, and could be older than McCain now. The naive have been dropping their votes on him for some years. I RESPECTFULLY request that in case you have not got a fave candidate, a minimum of VOTE against Obama and Michelle. those 2 people rather do not need to be in our White abode! Michelle as lots or greater advantageous than BO! She could have the communicate board of the White abode to spew her evil venom. She's have the ear of the worldwide press; a team at her disposal; and he or she'd be an entire embarrassment to america. Hillary now!! Or McCain in November. the two are reliable and unswerving, patriotic individuals and could take care of the job of the Presidency. NO-bama, ever! ******************GOD BLESS usa***********************

    Our media doesn't allow us to know about those canidates, we are only informed about the 2 parties, the media is deciding who gets the air time, and they send out the message that the 3rd parties don't stand a chance. I have heard that many voted Democrat this time because you just couldn't risk another Republican after they destroyed the economy, we had to change direction or it was another great depression.

    Obama was a better choice considering most people in America are liberal

    Because I didn't want to waste my vote like I did in '99 when I voted for Nadar (I didn't like Gore at the time and I already knew Bush Jr. was an idiot). The result was that the Supreme Court put Bush Jr. into office. I sure as hell wasn't going to take a chance in having the GOP's biggest Bush Jr groupie into office (McCain).

    It is unfortunate that the country that proclaims itself as the greatest democracy in the world has only two political parties. Blame lobbies and big business, combined with ignorant voters. It's much easier and cost efficient to pay bribes to two parties instead of three or more.

    I would have loved to vote for Bob Barr, but I felt, as in the past, you will waste your vote by not voting Dem or Rep. I believe that other party candidates should be involved in ANY type of debates/town hall meetings. Many Americans were not even aware there are other candidates.
