There were 4 third-party tickets in 2008 which were on the ballot in enough states to theoretically win the presidency, and about a dozen more that appeared on the ballot in at least a few states. If you really don't like any of those either, perhaps you should get involved in helping a candidate you do support get on the ballot in your state. There are plenty of other ways to become involved and have an influence, however small. Not liking the choices is not a good excuse for not participating.
