I'd be more inclined to vote for a third party if I lived in a competitive state.  Ralph Nader didn't get noticed because he got 10% in Alaska, rather it's the few percent he got in Florida and New Hampshire that caused waves throughout politics.

That's an interesting idea ... and I'm inclined to agree now that I thknk about it, actually.

Well then that would depend on how committed you are, and whether you prioritize now, in which case you'd vote for the R/D, or the future, in which case you'd vote third.
