I was wondering how effective my vote for Badnarik would be in our
current system, but now I have a long-term approach.  The more of the
vote the Libertarian party wins, the more they will be seen as a
viable alternative to the status quo.  They are the largest third
party in the country and honestly stand a chance of making inroads to
Washington, perhaps 50 years from now or something.  Sooner if
disasters cause citizens to seek more earnestly for a change. 
Remember, Lincoln was elected as a third-party candidate!
