Would you consider voting for a third party candidate, and if so, who?

Question

Note how there were no third party candidates allowed in last Wednesday's or any of the next Presidential debates, despite the fact that two of them have enough ballot access to theoretically win the election. We're being purposefully kept in the dark about third party views. So here are the websites to the two most viable third parties, the Greens and the Libertarians:

www.gp.org

www.lp.org

Use your preferred search engine if you want to find out about other alternatives. As for myself, I am voting for Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate for President.

I HAVE voted 3rd party in many elections. BTW, the news show Democracy Now -- which you can see on the web, or on LinkTV or Free Speech TV had a special version of the debates. They had two other candidates answer the same questions, right after Romney and Obama did. (The Green Party, and the Justice Party -- they asked the Libertarian, but he declined.)

I really like the Green Party candidate -- who I've seen more than the Justice one.

However, I will probably vote for Obama this time.

In the far past, the League of Women Voters ran the debates. It was over the issue of allowing ALL candidates in that led to the current system, where basically the candidates control the rules.

It's odd. When _I_ am interviewed for a job, I don't set the rules for the interview. Why do two of the applicants get to control the process?

sure i would when you get some one that I would vote for, He has to be right but not extreme right. His main concern has to be the middle class. So that hard working American can start to gain again not losing like we have done in the last three years. Not a tree hugger

Thanks for calling attention. Though I generally consider myself a Dem, I vote for the candidates and policies that best fit my values. I assumed I would vote for Obama, but after doing some research, I think I'll be voting for Johnson.

Green;
I wasted my vote once when I voted for Ross Perot. Your vote will also be wasted, because it will be a vote against Romney, and by default you will be supporting Obama.
