Yeah, and I noticed you didn't respond to my post to you so I guess 
you don't have an answer.

What post to me? The one where you asked for specific things I think 
Obama will change? Since I wasn't making any claims he would change 
the system (to the large scale changes Paul has argued for), I 
figured you were once again lumping me into a group 
erroneously.  Once again, I reiterate my position. Obama was (IMHO) 
the better choice of the two, but both would have governed largely as 
a centrist/moderate. In these elections, a third-party candidate is 
simply not viable, and will not be viable until a bottom-up capturing 
of local and state positions secures a large enough base. Until that 
point, a third party vote on the federal election is (again, IMHO) 
wasted, as it secures the election for someone who do not want. What 
I do is cast my federal vote for the better of the two main choices, 
then vote third party on all state and local ballots when possible 
(sometimes libertarian, sometimes green, sometimes populist, if the 
option is there and the person is honorable).

  Does that answer your question?
