The South Bend Tribune recently published a letter from a voter expressing her disappointment that Senator Clinton had withdrawn from the race for the Democratic party’s Presidential nomination. I feel the writer’s pain; I was unable to vote for Congressman Dennis Kucinich in May as he, too, had withdrawn from the Democratic primary. The letter-writer declared she intended to write-in Hillary Clinton’s name on her ballot in November.
Indiana’s election rules stipulate the only "write-in" votes that may be counted on Election Day are for those persons registered as "write-in" candidates: write-in votes cast for Clinton or other persons not registered as a write-in with the State Election Board will not be counted.
Voters considering discarding their vote by staying home on November 4th , writing-in an ineligible person or casting a vote for “not-the-other-guy” should consider voting for this year’s Green Party Presidential candidate.
The Green Party’s National Presidential Convention will be held July 10th-13th in Chicago. Currently Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is leading the delegate count, although the race is far from over. In Indiana, the Green Party candidate will be a legitimate write-in name whose votes must be counted according to State and Federal law.
To hear the four Green Party candidates debate live tonight, Saturday June 21st from 8-9:30 p.m. (ET) go to http://www.blogtalkradio.com/millerpolitics.

The Democrats often act the same as the Republicans, they just pretend to be different when they are really only "republican lite". They have continued to compromise on issues and continue to give Bush what he wants. Note their support (including Donnelly's) of the telecom amnesty bill. And of course, we are still in Iraq, despite the democrat's control of congress. I guess they really do believe in Bush's war. I recently obtained an Obama sticker for my car, and will probably still go ahead and put it on. But I consider myself an independent and will watch things closely. If Democrats continue to sell out I may have to put a McKinney sticker over Obama.
