I'm sure your vote would have been different if the vote had been in doubt. I would have voted for Obama last time if I had been worried about a close vote, but I knew he would win in Ohio, freeing me to vote for the Libertarian. I'm happy I didn't vote for Obama; I'm really angry with him (and Democrats in general) over civil liberties and war.<br /><br />Situational awareness is important. I had friends who swapped votes for Nader in safe Democratic states for votes for Gore in states where the issue was in doubt.Cleveland Okie (Tom Jackson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07810736442596736041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-77730208288679887482011-12-22T13:52:51.977-08:002011-12-22T13:52:51.977-08:00Leary did not have his head frozen.

Just to clear that up.<br /><br />I generally agree with Conor Friedersdorf.<br /><br />But Gary Johnson is, to me, the sanest of all the non-Dems, and I would be tempted to vote for him next Nov, if it weren't a 2000-like situation, in which I voted for Nader (and yes, I still apologize to everyone reading this, and...the entire planet, really.)<br /><br />Great post!michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526042582094867513noreply@blogger.com
