My brother never votes and says much the same thing. If everyone who didn't vote because they don't like either candidate actually voted for a 3rd party candidate that party would get enough votes to start getting federal matching funds for future elections and we could be on our way to getting a legit 3rd part that could potentially offer an actual alternative.
I will most likely be voting for Bob Barr. I'm in a state that will be going to Obama without much question so because of the outdated badly needing to be removed electoral college system my vote won't really matter. If I vote for Obama he still wins the state if I vote McCain he still loses so I will vote for Barr in hopes that he can somehow muster up 5% of the popular vote. He is polling at around 1% so it is a long shot, but at least my vote will count.
