I disagree with you here, my friend. I don't see a vote for a third party candidate as a "wasted vote" at all. I don't see my vote as wasted unless I vote for someone that I don’t really want to win! Voting for the “lesser of two evils” is the quintessential “wasted vote.” This is why were are in financial and social shambles right now, IMO!
