Sorry ABF, that's an attitude that undermines the system.
Vote for the candidate you prefer, don't vote in a roundabout way based on who might "win". If you do the latter, it only reinforces a self-defeating system. Look at it this way. Imagine down the line that there was only ONE party candidate that ever recieved any votes, and we were reduced to a 1 party system? In this system, the only votes that ever matter are the ones in that party's primaries, and they start trying less and less. Anyone that votes for the other party is told their votes are being "thrown away" and it's immoral for them to do so, that they should only care about the main party.
This is basically the same thing. As much as you might think in the short term that you have to vote for someone with a "chance to win", that attitude only guarentees that extra candidates that step outside the dictated party lines of our current parties will never have a "chance to win". It's a self fulfilling prophecy.
AND ANOTHER THING! "Activist judges" are nothing new, they are INTENDED! Judges being free to overthrow what they see as unconstitutional laws are a must, to prevent tyranny of the majority!
And what's with Myspace and Facebook? I don't care about "THE prom" you idiot, most people are nowhere NEAR you, they don't know your highschool exists! Stop treating it like it's world news!
Did that commercial just show sumo wrestlers fly off in the shape of a jet? What?! That was for BANKING? Are you SO at a loss as to what differentiates you from the competition that you just make up random nonsense?
Makes me want to go to the maternity ward and switch around babies at random...

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
