Frankly, Mirada, the only trouble I would have with voting with an outsider was the example laid down by Ross Perot in 1992. My voting record was such: Held my nose and voted for Gerald Ford in 1976. Voted proudly for Dutch Reagan, 1980. Voted Even more proudly for Dutch again in 1984. Held my nose and voted for the original George Bush in 1988. Intended to vote for Perot in 1992 until he pulled his strange crap of being in the race then dropping out then getting back in. Hence, I haven't voted for president to this day (so don't blame ME for the country getting into this apparently never-ending Bush-Clinton-Bush... cycle) because I haven't considered anyone worth taking the time to go to the polls for. What sort of guarantees would YOU make that you wouldn't mimic Perot (assuming you'd even get as far as he did)?
