[lbo-talk] once more on nonvoters

[Joseph Wanzala]

I agree that nonvoter are likely not progressive, but I think they are 
highly differentiated and I think there are large segments of them, 
especially, the young, hip, over-educated, underemployed who are generally 
culturally liberal at worst, who certainly would lean toward an Anybody Bush 
Stance, but would not necessarily be hostile to third parties. Given the 
data/evidence you have provided, we are probably still talking close to the 
low double digits (at most) of the total percentage of the American 
population who see no difference between say a Bush and a Gore *and* can 
articulate the reasons why and have some other oppositional but not 
politically relevant stance.
