As in so much else in politics, compromise this year is needed up front and early. I respect Ralph Nader;I have voted for him several times and in years to come when I think neither of the 2-party banner carriers is tolerable, I will vote for him again.
However, idealism doesn't play well against reality. Since I distinctly do NOT want the Bush/Cheney alliance in that office, I will vote for Gore/Lieberman. Both these men have demonstrated substance and vision.
As for saying that although he wrote an important book, Gore has donenothing, surely it is up to usto act- IMO that's what education is supposed to accomplish. Would you say that Rachel Carson only wrote a book?
