If Al Gore were President, they would be marginal loons. Since George 
W. Bush is President, they aren't. Another example of not a dime's 
worth of difference...

And if Ralph Nader were President--well, Nader says that if he were 
President 911 would never have happened because he's been calling for 
stronger airline cockpit doors for decades...
