But, you posted above that Nader cost Gore the election?  And since this is the very first time I have voted third party for president, I don't think your silly "over and over" thought applies.  It seems that third parties are attracting more and more voters.  Which means they will have more and more influence on the outcome of elections.  Which means they must not be "statistically irrelevant".  If they were, I don't think you and other democrats (And its always democrats whining about third parties.) would even bother to acknowledge us.  Heck icon66, you have made me feel so ashamed for voting anyway other than what you approve of, I'm considering voting just like you.  Please post your ballot preferences prior to 8 November so I have the opportunity to vote for your approval!  I'll let you know how it goes.
