I wouldn't have included them if I had asked who you expected to win. But people can still support candidates who won't win, as can be seen in the poll.
I know NickyJ, I'm not knocking your for including them. I'm just kind of poking fun at Europeans who complain about our 2 party system but would vote for one of the 2 main parties instead of the 3rd parties even in a hypothetical election.

So what? It's called hypothetical strategic voting.
But to be honest, my vote is about 99% determined by the character of the candidate, not it's party policies. Since I cba-ed to look into them to really get a good grip on the choice I'm making and I'll probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. From my little socialist free-range neck of the well hugged woods, it would all read like facism to me. Obama seems to be a decent guy and I respect the man. So he gets my vote. Romney is a sleaze and I have no idea about the characters of the others.
Oh, and I won't vote for Ron Paul or Gary Johnson because of certain individuals who just can't seem to tire of voicing their support. So forum experience even weighs into my well considered choice.
All of that means is that I can still say: Your 2 party system sucks.
I thought Virgil Goode is classified as Conservative American. Which makes him far-out-right for me. Nothing wrong with that mind you. Takes the whole spectrum to make a political system. (Still stinks, though.)

Sorry, that comment wasn't directed at you; I was reacting to the fact that someone DID vote for Virgil Green. I saw him in the Third Party Debate and he seemed as though he'd gotten lost on his way to the RNC. He's fun to listen to though, with that accent..
I feel American enough to vote as American, I've lived there for 5 years, I have a green card.... But Im not technically a citizen. I still voted as American

The two party system is crappy and the voting system as a whole is crappy and partly as a result of this the poll should include all current voting options separately in every single state to be accurate. It's a bizarre reality that one's home address is a major issue in elections.
I voted for Stein as I did in the other poll but if I were a citizen voting in a state were I had even a remote possibility to prevent Romney winning by voting Obama instead of Stein I do it without blinking. A choice between two decent candidates is a luxury I couldn't afford if there's a question between a sanity & insanity.
Locally I'm a lifelong conservative and voting a green really hasn't been even an option so far.
Rocky anderson is better than jill stein (and I feel qualifies as he was in the third party debate with the 4--jill stein, him, gary johnson, virgil goode)
Not a fan of Baelish's Machiavellianism, and Renly... hard to make a comment without spoilers. I just think Jorah's the coolest. Objectively speaking, the best leader would probably be either Eddard Stark, Howland Reed, or Stannis Baratheon.
