I don't say this with any particular prejudice either way. I just get the sense that people will vote Democrat this year whether they're voting FOR the Dems or just to be voting AGAINST the Republicans. I'm a Republican who has had enough of their poor leadership and their failure to follow their party platform.
What do you think?

1 to 4 odds. I don't see any way it's not a blowout unless the latent racism in the voting booth is more widespread.
I tend to agree. There's a better than even chance that I'll vote 3rd party for the same reason you stated. I've voted locally for fiscally Conservative Democrats in the past so I am able to pull the lever but Obama's not even remotely close.
