I am posting this to illustrate the futility of voting for third parties. I voted for Chuck because I knew McCain would lose. If I had thought it was going to be close I would have voted for McCain.

This is the chart from 2008, I found it on Wikipedia

Candidate $ Raised $ Spent # of Votes $ per vote

Barack Obama (D) $532,946,511 $513,557,218 69,498,215 $7.39
John McCain (R) $379,006,485 $346,666,422 59,948,240 $5.78
Ralph Nader (I) $4,496,180 $4,187,628 738,720 $5.67
Bob Barr (L) $1,383,681 $1,345,202 523,713 $2.57
Chuck Baldwin (C) $261,673 $234,309 199,437 $1.17
Cynthia McKinney (G) $240,130 $238,968 161,680 $1.48

There were a total of 131,070,005 votes tallied.

Ralph Nader got .005%, about one half of one percent of the vote.
Bob Barr got .004%, less than one half of one percent of the vote.
Chuck Baldwin got .0015%, just over one tenth of one percent of the vote.

As you can see even if McCain had received ALL the remaining votes that dear leader didn't get McCain still would have lost. McCain most certainly would not have received Nader or Green Party votes.
