I agree...mostly. But a third party candidate would have field a viable candidate before they would get my vote in an election as closely contested as this one, however. I just don't see that in the case. Some of third party candidates in the California senate race don't even have web page for their campaigns. Also, the libertarian candidate, who I thought would be a potential for my vote, is further from me on issues than the conservatives. Weird that.
I can live with one side in this election even if I don't agree with them 100%, or even 50%, but the other side is so far from me, especially on issues that I really care about, that I can't risk the chance that they might win because I voted for a third party.
