Question

Who are some other viable candidates I can vote for besides Obama and McCain?

Answer 1

If all who say they'd vote third party or independent if only it were 'viable' did so, it would BE viable.

Ron Paul 2008 or as close as I can vote and have it counted.  

Answer 2

Ron Paul.  He's not officially a candidate any more,  but I'll probably write him in.  

Answer 3

Chuck Baldwin, Bob Barr, Ralph Nader....there's plenty more.

too bad Ron Paul didn't decide to run :(

Question: Do you want to sell your soul and vote for someone simply because you think they can win OR stop buying into the either/or c**p pushed by the media.

Answer 4

Below is a link to a website that lists the other candidates like Nader, Barr, McKinney, Keyes, etc.  Click on their picture and it will take you to a list of issues and define where they stand.

I don't see Ron Paul on that list...he is a Republican that is still running.  Good luck!

Answer 5

The key word in your question is "viable."

The answer is "none."

Answer 6

There are no other "viable" candidates.  Bob Barr, Ralph Nader, and a few others are also running, but none will win.  You can also write-in a name.

Answer 7

Unfortunately, the US is really a two-party system.  There are, of course, other parties (the Libertarian party, the Green party, etc.).  They just don't stand a chance at winning enough votes to secure the office.  Eventually, we may get to the point where we have more options.  In my opinion, though, right now a vote for someone not in the Democratic or Republican party is a form of protest rather than a vote to actually elect an official.

Answer 8

Me.

Answer 9

Sadly none. The two parties have a strangle-hold on all elections, forcing all voters to choose between two turds. You could vote for a third party, but that would basically be throwing a vote away.... not like the popular vote actually matters that much in a pseudo-democratic nation though. But that's another story. The best option is to vote for whomever you believe to be the lesser of two evils.
