(2,188 posts)In this case, it's ok to vote 3rd party. It would not be a spoiler, as she would win by 20 points or more. A third party vote would not tip the results to Trump like in a close election.

(2,707 posts)And when the exit poll question was asked about if Perot had not been on the ballot, Clinton still came out ahead 48-44 and 6 not voting (take the 6 out of the denominator, 48/92=52.1%) (and out of the MoE). Alaska, can't see it. Indiana potentially, tho I still see it as Dan Quayle country.

(46,436 posts)We are gradually turning leftward - witness our Independent governor/Dem lieutenant governor and Anchorage's new, very liberal mayor. People here aren't crazy about Hillary, but I just can't see Trump winning in Alaska. He's too Palin-like, and we've had quite enough of that. Personally, I think Bernie's message would resonate strongly here. I know many independents and Democrats who are supporting him.

(2,707 posts)because I'd love to believe what you're saying; its just that the GOP has been so strong in Alaska in recent decades, even in the elections they lost, that I'm tempted to give him AK (for now).

(46,436 posts)but having lived here for 40 years, through the reddest of red times, I feel the tide starting to turn. The hardest part (as is the case everywhere) is getting people out to vote. The fact is that among registered voters, the independents and undeclareds are more numerous than Democrats and Republicans combined. I think a lot of them are getting fed up with Republicans, especially after the state legislative Republicans have overplayed their hand so egregiously in the past two legislative sessions.
But as you say, we shall see.

(25,026 posts)If the country is just going to make a joke of it then so am I and I intend to relay that in a clear fashion as possible.
If the Commonwealth is in doubt then maybe Clinton as not to not quite so fully accept national suicide but otherwise a proper fuck off conartists is in order.
Not that Clinton is a joke but rather a seemingly absurd solution to the problems of today that she far too often was cheering on and helping to create to the point of maniacal laughter.
How is it possible that we are even less sensible and aware of real life application problems since the Iraq War, Prohibition, the financial meltdown, the Patriot Act, the exposure of dragnet surveillance, the drug war, and the BP blowout than even before them.
Are we collectively losing IQ points with every catastrophically stupid thing we do only to doom us to further and even more foolish acts?
Steve DeBerg was a good and winning quarterback but yes I'm going to look at you crazy when I say give me anybody that is going to give us even a puncher's chance based on their body of work and game philosophy and you give me DeBerg and I'm going to get exasperated.
The master of the playaction and handing it off isn't going to carry the day when the score has gotten away. The answer can't always and every time be fucking DeBerg! What is the fixation?
