ah! Good for you, Kat, good for you. The situation is not quite as bleak as you might imagine, it looks like we can take the %5, and that's the very real point of the Nader campaign. Sorry if I remember this incorrectly, but aren't you in Wyoming? There's no risk at all in voting Nader in a hard-core Republican state. Wyoming's electoral votes are going to Bush, and a less-than-majority popular vote within Wyoming is useless to Gore. The situation is reversed for third parties: we're extremely unlikely to take any electoral votes at all, but popular vote is absolutely critical. I know you're also nervous about Roe, but once again a vote for Gore in Wyoming is not going to change anything. And a vote for Nader is not just an empty gesture, it's one step. If we take the %5, it will be a pretty big step.

Now's the time, Kat. Do what you know is right.
