Thread: Washington State Libertarian Party Sues To Remove Mitt Romney From Ballot

Call them the unlikely voters.
A nationwide USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll of people who are eligible to vote but aren't likely to do so finds that these stay-at-home Americans back Obama's re-election over Republican Mitt Romney by more than 2-1. Two-thirds of them say they are registered to vote. Eight in 10 say the government plays an important role in their lives.

Even so, they cite a range of reasons for declaring they won't vote or saying the odds are no better than 50-50 that they will: They're too busy. They aren't excited about either candidate. Their vote doesn't really matter. And nothing ever gets done, anyway.

I don't think all, or even most, 3rd party voters would vote for Romney if they didn't vote for their candidate. Some would vote for Obama and some of them would stay home and not vote before they would vote for either of the 2 party candidates.
(Watch how you talk about us old people.) {That's a joke.]
Some of us have been feed up with both parties for many years.
