I liked Thompson too, and of course the time to vote your conscience is in the primary. In the general election it will be important to vote for the candidate who best reflects your views AND has a chance to win. The reality is we have a two party system and there will be two candidates who have a realistic chance to win. They will each be a compromise for most people. But voting for your "ideal" third party candidate would just be handing the election to the person you LEAST want. Remember Ross Perot is the reason Bill Clinton got his first term.
