That sounds like a nice sound bite, but in reality, choosing the lesser evil today further cements the need to be choosing the lesser evil tomorrow. I'm not from the US (and don't have a favored candidate), but I hear this rhetoric quite a lot. In each election, regardless of allegiance, we hear that this particular election is too important to throw away a vote by voting independent. After all, we don't want another Gore/Nader! I've always wondered; in exactly which of the previous 56 elections would it have been OK? I suspect the real answer for the majority of lesser evil types (and I'm not saying you are in this boat) is along the lines of: back when the Whigs were in power.
