Um ... how fucking self-defeating can you be?
Seriously ... your female candidate loses, so instead of getting over it and voting for the next best thing being offered in this particular election to what you wanted, you're going for the senile white guy who wants to stay at war for 100 years, and privatize Social Security (among other things not desirable for minorities or people who earn under $200K a year, I assure you)?
A vote for McCain is a third term for Bush. Your choice. Pass it on.

Clinton represented more of the middle ground--especially on national security, which is a BIG issue because of where our numbnuts-in-chief has gotten us. People can shift a little, but you can't expect an complete ideological shift just because someone is the candidate.
I'm sure the majority of Democrats will be voting in lockstep this year. But I'm also sure that there's going to be a lot of third party voting too.

Personal principles that would lead to a vote for a third party are fine. But real-world practicality has to occasionally win out, especially when that voting would put the candidate you *least* want right in the driver's seat after all. And at this point, I do not want to see McCain in the White House.
