66. I hate to say this, but...
as an interested onlooker, if people vote for Nader just because they don't like the Dem nominee, and Nader siphons off enough votes to cause another screw-up and you get stuck with Bush for another 4 years - then the country will deserve the leader it gets.

I would say that now is the time to focus on picking the Dem candidate you can most live with, and then in the election, vote for the Dem - no matter who the candidate is.

Sometimes I think we're more fortunate in Canada to have a system where we elect the party, based on its policies, and don't have to fight over personalities. True, sometimes we like the party and its policies, but not necesessarily the leader, but it sure beats hell out of having a bunch of leaders for the same party from which to choose.
