Instead of running against Nancy P, I wish Cindy and her supporters would campaign hard for IRV.   "Instant Runoff Voting," that is.   

IRV allows people to vote their true values and preferences, without fear of "throwing away their votes."    Other countries outside the US and some states and counties or cities here have used IRV, very successfully.   If you have instant runoff voting, that really does allow both independents and new parties to get a foot in the door, to grow, and to break up the stranglehold the 2 (current) dominant parties have in major elections.

Had we had IRV in 2000, Gore would have been elected by a rather wide margin (even in the electoral college) and Nader and the Greens (plus, probably Pat Buchanan's followers) would have gotten enough votes to "qualify" for inclusion in the major televised debates in later years.
