AAHH! What? You are frightened that people may CHOOSE to vote for Nader because they like him even more than Kerry/Edwards? Those votes wouldn't be thrown away. Hopefully they would convince the dems that if they want those votes they'll have to listen to the people casting them. Maybe the Greens will even be a viable party some day... But for now, it is absurd to generalize that Nader votes are thrown away. Some people actually believe in the party and want that support registered. It is for these reasons that I'll consider voting Libertarian instead of Republican. If Bush wants my vote, he'll have to earn it, not just be more attractive than the Democratic candidate.
(I'd vote neither for Nader nor Kerry/Edwards - it's just the principle at stake here that gets me going)
