So you're setting up the same trap as Yoshie - "our" numbers will be small, very small. Who wants to do that? Why spin yourself unfavorably in advance? Many people, including almost all my left-wing friends, will be voting for Kerry - and many of them are to the left of many Nader voters (i.e., Marxists rather than small-biz populists). But you've already set them up as not worth counting.
