Nader

I voted for him. I thought it would be a landslide. I'm still surprised people voted for Bush or Kerry.

Actually, in my city office they had a bowl of candy and anyone who voted for Bush was allowed to take a piece. I thought it was really inappropriate, but I did consider, because I like candy.

Nader got a pretty decent number of votes for a third party candidate who wasn't across the entire US ballot. Let's face it, it's a two party system in a fifty party world.

Also, the libertarians didn't do as badly as before... Of course, that could simply be attributed to higher voter turnout.

I voted for David Cobb.

Nader was screwed by the Democrats - plain and simple.

Ask him, and he will tell you the same.

Since these political battles are, at least for the parties, far more about winning than about principle, the Dems saw Nader as an enormous threat to be removed, at all costs.

As they still blame him for Bush beating Gore, they were bound and determined to not let that happen this time. So, more than simply employing armies of lawyers to keep him off of ballots in key states, they propagated the notion among the would be faithful that a vote for Nader was a vote for Bush.

From a raw political standpoint it was quite clever, but from a standpoint of principle it was shameful.

Why not just say you voted busgh? They never would of know.

Maybe you could report them annonimously, say vote rigging, then they'll chuck bus out :-D

That should read "at least for the Republican party and Karl Rove,"
