Meiji_man,
A vote for the Libertarians, Constitution or Reform at the Presidental level isn't necessarily a vote for Gore. Remember the Presidency isn't decided by majority vote, it is decided State by State through the electoral college. Some states the vote might be close, in other states it might not be. To the extent that polls are accurate just before the election voting third party probably has no effect. That isn't to say voting in the local elections and for Congress isn't important. Your vote has more of a say in smaller elections. Just in some states it's probably hopeless in other states it doesn't matter.
Just to note, I never voted for Clinton or the Republican nominee in the past two elections. In both cases the Republican nominee won the vote in my State.
Also, even if Bush wins, we are going to have to lobby hard. Remember how his Father Soutered us!
