Again, people should vote the way they feel. I have voted third party in the past. However, I also think sometimes part of voting is thinking through what the greater good is for you in your personal mind. If you (general you) think your third party candidate getting a few votes is more important than keeping one of the others out of office then that is all good. Sadly, elections have become as much about the keeping out as the voting in and if you want to keep out it becomes tactical as much as from your heart.
