3rd Party Did NOT Give Hick the Election

[bryjcom]

HB, I'm not crying at all. I'm not getting defensive nor am I attacking anyone in particular.

You wish to believe you and people like yourself who voted third party are not responsible for the outcome of the governor election, and there are a number of us who do believe that those who voted 3rd party are the reason Hick will be with us for another four years.

The ultimate goal was to remove him and replace him. Your candidate had zero chances of that happening, but you chose to vote that way anyway. A number of people here talk as though they are single issue voters (2A), but apparently that isn't the case. Again, the goal was to rid Hick of a job, but that didn't happen.

You keep talking about this "goal". I shared the same goal as you. But not everybody shares the same goal. The democrats goal was to keep Hick in office. Yours and my goal was to vote him out. That didn't happen even though I voted for Bob. 3rd party voters' goal was obviously different than our goal. The problem is 3rd party voters didn't give it to Hick.

I know you're trying to find a scapegoat for why Hick still has his job but I don't see a reason in either of your explanations.

So again, please show me the NUMBERS on how 3rd party voters caused Bob to loose the election.
