They don't care. 90% of the 35% of the population who bothers to show up will either vote for a jackass or the back end of an elephant.

Me, I'm voting for whichever party promises to fix this crap, Green or Libertarian.

Hell, I might even vote for me.

Whoever will get us the **** out of Iraq, get rid of the Military Commissions Act, restore habeas corpus, stop the wiretapping, and send anyone who performs or authorizes torture to jail for the rest of their lives. It won't happen, but whoever comes closest. That means all the tiny-dick Jack Bauer wannabees, i.e. all of the Republicans except for McCain are automatically out. Gravel and Kucinich are my favorites who are currently running. Clinton? She's a damned Republican in all but name. Obama? Maybe. Gore? If he runs, in a heartbeat. Edwards? A possibility.
