election demographics

[B. Deutsch]

If Florida is anything like Oregon (where I live) and the other swing states,
then Nader voters there were absolutely deluged with ads, pleas, and arguments
to switch their vote from Nader to Gore.   Unless you think all that
advertising had no effect at all, it's illogical to beleive that national
numbers can be applied to a swing state - especially one as important as
Florida.

My guess, given how few people voted Nader in Florida, is that many or most of
the Florida Greens who would consider voting for Gore, in fact did vote for
Gore.
