HAHAHA, one of my wing-nuttiest friends said he just voted absentee in Colorado- for Barr!!!
This guy is a Marine, a 3-tour Iraq veteran, and someone who frequently muses on how much better life would be if we could just shoot all the hippies. When I saw him this summer he told me he was thinking on whether or not he should vote for who he actually wanted or whether he needed to vote McCain to stop Obama. Well, in a recent communication referring to Obama and McCain alike as "scumbags", he informed me that he cast his vote for Barr in our crucial swing state.

Thanks Bob Barr!

3. I know how it is!
I know this crazy guy myself, he's a major gun nut and his vote changes with the weather. I'm pretty sure I've convinced him to go with Barr though. ;)

4. We Don't Hear Much About
the effect of other candidates taking votes
from McLame. I've turned several Repugs off to
McSame but can't get them to vote for Obama (or any Dem down ticket).
That's when I suggest Barr or a write in protest vote.
I know of 3 confirmed 3rd party switches and 2 leaning protest voters.
