voted for Nader in Ohio last time, not likely to again, (though not completely thrilled with Kerry) but would vote for Kucinich in a heartbeat. the point about Nader not beaing able to run the country has nothing to do with his ability, it has to do with our system. Do you really think a congress controlled by either party would pass anything Nader wanted if he won? would Nader sign every stupid bill Congress sent to him? stalemate, gridlock, whatever you call it. that is the system we have, and it makes no sense, nothing will ever change.

I know it's a futile exercise, but change has to start somewhere. I propose direct representation, no electoral college, a parliamentary system that requires coalition but gives every voice and point of view a seat and a vote, let them elect a President or Prime Minister or what have you, who has to stand a vote of confidence every now and then to stay in power. A mulitparty system is the only way to justice and change. and keep corporations and money out of it if possible.
