I think a lot of those who voted for Nader were looking beyond this year's election. Had Nader received 5% of the popular vote, he would have qualified for federal funding in the '04 election. That would have been very big, because it would give him the ability to bring campaign finance reform into the spotlight in the next election, along with other issues. If this election hadn't been so close, he probably would have gotten it.
Anyway, don't blame me - I voted for Bush.
