New Tell that to the Nader and Buchanan voters out there.

There are clear recent examples when voting for the lesser evil gives a much better result than protest voting.

Hang in there.

Cheers,
Scott.

New Sheesh. Not that old refrain.
If Nader had not run, Al Gore would have won Florida and New Hampshire with Nader votes.

Assumes facts not in evidence. There is absolutely no reason to think that any voter who voted for Nader would have voted at all if he had not run. Some people don't equate presidential races and horse races. Some people vote their conscience, not some of the time, but all of the time.

New I voted for Nader in 2000. I would have voted if he hadn't been on the ballot. :-p

New OH! THAT'S why you gave me so much grief in 2008 for doing the same thing.
As it turns out, my vote literally didn't count. But that doesn't change the fact that I would have *not* voted at all if I hadn't voted for Nader in 08. Most of the Naderites I came into contact with in 08 felt the same way.
