I was talking with the local Peace and Freedom Party director who gave me 
this argument for a P&F vote.  No, they didn't think they could win 
any/many elections, but by getting enough votes one or the other major 
parties would have to sit up and take notice and move their platform a 
little closer to their agenda.

This may be the reason for the big upset this past election: I notice 
that in many races where the Republicans won there were large numbers of 
3rd party votes which had formerly gone Democratic.  Maybe the Democratic 
party will look around and see that the key to their survival is looking 
less Republican and more progressive.
