This isn't the first election where I've considered neither of the major party candidates even marginally acceptable. But before, I could always vote Libertarian, and did. This time the Libertarian candidate is an arch-conservative, not a Libertarian. He appears to have bought his way onto the ballot.

Kendall is right about Nader. Well, he's guilty of understatement, but he's an old Mainer, so that's expected.

So I may just not vote, at least for a presidential candidate, for the first time since I've been eligible to vote.

Why can't we get an initiative going for a Constitutional amendment to require a "None of the above is acceptable" box on every ballot?

Peter.
