Nothing wrong with the Constitution, but when you read what the Constitution Party stands for on their website a more apt name would be The Jesus Party or some other name for the Christian theocracy they stand for.

Well, it is a protest vote after all.  It's not voting in the John Birch Society to office.

I am an unabashed GOP supporter, but if I felt absolutely compelled to vote for a third party, I'd choose the Libertarian candidate. He'd also have to be more of a Gary Johnson type of Libertarian compared to a Jesse Ventura type.

Are you implying that there's something wrong with the Constitution?

Well, it hasn't been set on fire yet. So that's wrong.

Totally...

It's just a pet peeve of mine. I've always thought the Constitution Party was false advertising. Their whole notion of applying Biblical principles to governing is clearly unconstitutional. You know what you are getting when you see "Socialist Party" "Green Party" "Libertarian Party" but they are sneaking Christian Theocracy in under the guise of "Constitution Party" . They should just call themselves the Biblical Party or something more apt.

The Constitution Party, although their economic policies tend to be pretty bad. If they're not on the ballot I write in some random friend in my district as a generic protest vote. I tend to do the latter a whole lot in Madison.

Libertarian and Constitution, depending on the individual candidates' platforms.

Either Green or one of the socialist candidates (depends on the party, of course).

I always vote for the Libertarian candidate because the Libertarian candidate is always the best option. There is no protest it is just common sense.

Probably the Libertarians, but I'd consider the Justice Party I suppose.

I would vote for the Democrat nearly every time.  The candidate having an affair, a major corruption scandal, or a live boy/dead girl situation would be enough to make me switch to a green candidate.

Ahahaha, I got the good old Edwin Edwards reference.

If people were answering this honestly, the following would be the poll's answer:

"I will ALWAYS vote for one of the two major parties" !

Green, indeed under a run-off system they would likely get my first preference.
