Reply #25: Some of this is a vote of protest

[Snellius]

Voters often use polls as a way of voicing discontent, to send a message without really taking a stand. At this point, every Naderite knows that a vote for Nader only helps Bush, so either they subscribe to the revolutionary tactic of pushing it to the final limit or they will be more realistic when bush comes to shove. But we can only hope that Kerry is listening to their complaint.
