Reply #111: "Validity" has nothing to do with it. Pragmatism does.

As I said previously, we're all free to vote for whomever we choose. My preferred candidate is not in the race, but I want my vote to count for *something* and so will make a pragmatic choice in the voting booth based on the reality we face on election day.

Personally, I was lobbying *for* Gore, and *against* Bush. Lieberman's certainly been revealed, now, as more repugnant than I thought him back then, but even Lieberman would be less cancerous than Cheney.
