I think 3rd party candidacies are fine, they bring new people into the process, and in a lot of cases show where the two main parties are lacking (in recent memory, we had environmental issues with Nader, and deficit spending with Perot).
My problem with Nader, both last time and this time around, is the intellectual - fucking - dishonesty he displays when he says there is no difference between the two parties. Give me a fucking break.
