Gigi-what I find funny about all of your posts on all of these political threads the last few days is that although well informed, you are very reactionary at the same time. This country has the attention span of a nanosecond. Hence Michelle Obamas verbal gaffe has been replaced by Hillary blowing a fuse, which was replaced by the plagiarism charge,which was replaced by Nader's impact, which was replaced by the turban controversy. If anyone but the muckrakers remember this in a week, I will be astounded! None of this stuff is really sticking on the national level because there is something new everyday, and there probably will be until March 4. By which point Nader will scratch his head and say...maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all this time. And previous posters suggesting that no matter how you spin the words, all 3 of the major candidates are following the same "mold" as to how to get elected is true. So the way I see it, we either need to get "close" to how we feel things should be personally and vote for that candidate, or not even bother because they all suck one way or another (Nader included). That to me would be the worst thing.
