43. But the Green won't win
This is a two party system and it FUCKING SUCKS. The only way a 3rd party candidate can win is if there is no Democrat (ie Bernie Sanders, a lifetime independant candidate who started out as Mayor and worked his way up the chain) or the Independant has strong support & name recognition from both parties (ie Joe Lieberman).

Green will not win

They won't

They won't even get more than 1-5% of the votes

And after living through 2 campaigns with Rick Santorum I can tell you this - he is the dirtiest, motherfucking slime candidate who will stoop to any low out there and even LOWER the bar on lowness in order to slime his opponent to death. That's how Santorum wins even when he's unpopular in Pennsylvania. He did his first US House opponent, he did it with Wolfford and he did it with Klink. And trust me, he will do it Casey.

The choices we have are Casey or Santorum. And if you're voting Green, you're buying into the candidate that would have never gotten on the ticket if Santorum didn't contribute over $100k to pay for signature gathers (who faked them) and probably the candidate's legal fees to defend them

Santorum didn't help any other candidate even though the COnstitution and Libertarian parties also tried to field candidates.

We need to fix the fucking broken system that sucks beyond belief. But we will NOT fix it if we give Rick Santorum six more years
