Obama and Romney already took the Red, White, and blue so he would have to be green I guess.

No, the clerk would take your money and then throw your Slurpee in the garbage. Because that's what you're doing with your vote when you vote third party!

Didn't they do this in the last two elections too, or something similar to it? Nothing new here.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Only thrown away vote is one for a lesser evil.  Statistically, one vote doesn't matter.  So, if you are going to make your vote count, vote for the candidate which closest fits your views.

That's unAmerican. The Communist Party was a third party. So were the Nazis.

And so are the Libertarian and Constitution parties.  So, that means you just equated the Libertarian and Constitution Parties with Nazis and Fascists.  Of course, using this reason, assuming the GOP is going to continue the trends it has, and run out of angry white men, the GOP will be on its way to becoming a third part.  So, that would then mean voting for the GOP is unAmerican.

AFAIK they have been doing it since 2000.

Obama is winning Utah 55% to 45%. Very scientific result.

Yes, exactly. Same thing will happen when the Democrats run out of welfare sucking morons... oh, wait. That will never happen.

"I once voted at a Presidential election. There being no real issue at stake, and neither candidate commanding any respect whatever, I cast my vote for Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi. I knew Jeff was dead, but I voted on Artemus Ward's principle that if we can't have a live man who amounts to anything, by all means let's have a first-class corpse. I still think that vote was as effective as any of the millions that have been cast since then." -- Albert Jay Nock

I had thought they had been doing that for a few months now.

I actually like the idea... if you keep a vague count it's a neat way to see customers splits in various businesses.'

Pretty good business tactic too. If there was no neutral cup i'd probably just pick whichever candidate was losing in the polls.

Haha or take one of the cups and put a hand written third party candidate over it in tape. That'd be hilarious.
