more politics and junk

Re: Nader. I personally don't see Nader as a

spoiler. What use is it? People surely have a right to

vote for Nader and he has a right to run (although

don't you think he'd be more likely to get elected to

the House or Senate before launching himself into the

Oval Office?). That brings me to why people think

Nader should become president. He has no experience in

federal office, and the Greens represent a very small

group of people. Essentially, the Greens are a good

balance for the religious right. Neither of these groups

are encompassing enough to represent the country as a

whole. But if Green Party candidates were realistic

rather than idealistic and cynical, then perhaps they'd

get elected to enough local and state offices to

begin making the changes they purport to

want.<br><br>If people are mocking the current state of election

affairs in the US, why? Rarely is a race so close that it

comes down to a handful of votes, and because of that

we do need to be patient and wait for all of the

ballots to be counted to determine who the prez is.

What's the hurry, and why is it such a bad thing to not

know yet? Anyway, it's exciting!
