I didn't say he would win, I said I supported democracy and voting for who you believe is the best candidate. Under the current system he won't win, probably ever.

They are not "MY" greens, Camejo is the only Green I've ever voted for, I am not registered Green. I support Camejo and his ideas, I do not 'vote Green'. Camejo is a VERY strong candidate despite the fact he is green. He has had the largest third party representation in this state since the sixties for one reason: He is a very good candidate.

As far as transportation, I haven't seen so many great ideas from anyone else either. But, I don't consider this a primary issue in this election. I consider the primary issues a strong and clear plan on how to improve revenue flow and budget management at the state AND local levels. Camejo has been far more clear on these issues than all other candidates, especially the tough-question dodging Arnold.

How people can vote for a candidate who has gone so far out of his way to be vague is beyond me. I wouldn't be so set against Arnold if it weren't for the fact he has avoided specific questions from the beginning. It leads me to belive that he is indeed just a pretty face.

I feel that if Camejo was not hindered by the mentality you just demonstrated (third party = wasted vote) then he'd already be elected. Further, that the issue of the whole basis and feeling people have with a "wasted vote" would no longer be an issue with Instant Runoff Elections, because then there is no such thing as a wasted vote.

Not that the Republicans or Democrats will ever let something a empowering to the PEOPLE like Instant Runoff Elections ever get signed into law. It is too much of a threat to their beloved two party system.

How many people do you think would vote differently if they didn't feel a vote for an independent or other third party candidate was NOT wasted? I bet 5-10% of the state has altered their vote from what they wanted to, just because they felt it wouldn't 'count' for anything if they didn't vote for one of the two frontrunning candidates. Elections would be VERY different if people could lose this stigmata, and with instant runoff, they can.

I will always vote for who *I* feel is the most qualified candidate, regardless of what party they are a part of.
