Visionaries,

Here is an interesting website: http://www.votepair.org .  The goal is to
pair voters in 'safe' states who would vote for Kerry, with voters in
'swing' states who would vote for Nader or Cobb.

>From their homepage:
"In vote-pairing, swing-state progressives whose first instinct might have
been to vote for Nader or Cobb are paired with Democrats (and others whose
first choice for President is Kerry) in 'safe' states where either Bush or
Kerry has a decisive lead. Paired voters can communicate with each other and
decide to vote strategically: swing-state participants for Kerry and
safe-state participants for Nader or Cobb. As a result, the paired voters'
support for progressive third parties is recorded in the popular vote and
their preference for Kerry over Bush finds voice in the Electoral College."

Unfortunately, there is no third party listed on Idaho's ballot, however
they are considering doing a write-in campaign and will decide at the end of
October.
