Conterfactuctual (though sadly it may not be). November 2008. Giuliani Vs. Hillary -- neck and neck in NY state. Polling 40% even. Bloomberg at 18% , with Nader and various small parties dividing the remaining 2%. So what do you do?
1)Stay home and bitch? 2)Vote for Hillary on the Working Families ballot line? 3) Vote for Hillary on the Demo ticket? 4) Vote for one of the small parties ? Nader, a socialist whatever?
I mean I knocked on doors for Nader in 2000. Did not care much for the results.
