Michael:
I appreciated the thoughtful comments of Todd Jones and his reasons for voting for Gore over
Nader, and agree with his result even if I arrived it by a slightly different path ("all
paths lead to . . ."). The only additional comment I offer is to spotlight the yin-yang
shadow of this year's presidential politics: How much has Pat Buchanan's campaign outside
the Republican Party forced conservatives to heed his message? Not a bit, because Bush and
the GOP are holding all the cards. That's about how much Nader will influence the liberal
agenda with this run, since he is outside the two-party system. It's a damn shame, but
that's the game we're playing.
