What options are you seriously looking at? I am voting for neither one of the two major candidates as they will bring no real change period.
I am looking into the smaller party candidates curently and I was wondering if any of you supposed undecided fence sitter have any viable thoughts on our smaller parties such as Libertarian, Green, etc.

I tend to look at the candidates on if they are liberal or conservative more then party. I believe both candidates running are liberal, just one is far left. I find Nadar a bit wacky and goofy so I could not vote for him. I don't see any decent third party candidates running so I will be doing a write in, maybe I will vote for Frimp( Grin).

  Libertarian all the way.  Its time to kick the big two parties to the curb.

I agree^^^ Unfortunately this is like taking The Detroit Lions to win the Superbowl in September.  I remember really liking Ross Perot In 96. He really against NAFTA and I remember his debate with Al Gore well. That guy made a lot of sense and predicted many of the things that are happening as we speak.  I didn't Vote for him because as much as I grew Tired of Bill and his shit by 96 I was really afraid that a Vote for Perot would take away a vote for him and help Dole who I really didn't want in office. I think Perot would have done well this time around.

This was George Washington's biggest Concern when he left office. Watching the country divide and Politics going after there own self serving needs. I seriously might just make this a game day descision.................... Undecided

You are either seriously underestimating the Lions or overestimating the likelihood a third party candidate will win the elections.  Although the Lions winning the SB this years is highly unlikely it is 1000 times more possible than a third party winning the election.

After what just went down with Sarah Palin, there will be a massive thud with a bunch of people jumping off the fence.

You got jokes, huh? If I need a good laugh I'll pull up old pics in posts of you giving Donald Duck a reach around at Disney.

It is not about the third party winning. It is getting enough votes to become a viable party that will both shock the other two into pulling their heads out, and to actually force some change and end business as usual.

Simeon, please don't write me in. If I won, I'd be like Clinton (blond hair when he took office) and Bush (Brown hair when he took office) I have mostly a brown head of hair with a little salt mixed in. I don't want to go gray in the next 4 years.  Grin

Although I appreciate your consideration, and if I am elected, I think I could do a hell of a job, I really don't want that responsibility. I may run for the house in a few years though.
