This is a straw man - or person rather. How can you be sure that
those voting for Nader easily dismissed this "perk" of controlling the
excutive branch? I understand you were responding to some criticisms
of the Dems. Perhaps it really didn't matter whether or not one had
reservations
about voting for Nader. Likewise, it probably didn't matter that one had
reservations about voting for Al "lost his home state" Gore. The vote
weighed
the same as any gung-ho DLCer.

It will be interesting to see whether or not the Dems can force through
campaign finance reform legislation - within the next 10 days, right?
I wonder if the Rich pardon scandal will have any bearing on how
people vote. I wonder if Dan Burton feels he is whipping up support
for campaign finance reform.
