Question for all of you: about third party cross-endorsements
We've got a third party in CT that I rather like. What are the ramifications for using the 3rd party line to vote for Dems?

I'm thinking it may help them get a more secure place on the ballot for the future, without hurting the Dem candidates. And I have to admit, there are some races this time where I dearly wish I had another choice. (My state rep only calls himself a Dem - besides being a liar, he's a DINO through and through).

What say you?

1. I say your vote belongs to who has best earned it and/or has the most potential
to earn if given the opportunity.

2. Well that's it:
right now, it's going to a Dem, regardless. But most of those I'd be voting for are on both the Dem and the 3rd party line.

3. Fusion voting.
I wish more stats allowed it. It would strengthen third parties and not force them to run against good Democrats.
