all that good stuff and also without common sense - legal term - look it up. i'll bet not one person who voted for nader will vote for a third party candidate in this election. the few i talked to back then were embarrassed, humbled and wiser. the same words of caution were called out to voters at that time people have  a stubborn streak  of  'not gonna be told by anyone..." and will do the stupidest things to be their own person.  at all expense. kinda like someone who is going to car surf doing 60 MPH.  it's that stopping and turning stuff they didn't take into account.
 so in this particular election, under these particular circumstances,  i feel it's my civic duty to be a sanctimonious partisan horse***ter.
