Reply #35: I just don't see why... [View All]

I just don't see why one would bother to get to the polls on election day with the intention of voting for Gore, and then on a whim decide to vote for Nader instead. My assertion rests on the assumption that anyone who voted for Nader did so because s/he wanted to vote for Nader. Otherwise, s/he would have joined the almost 50% of the other people who didn't even bother to vote at all. I say Nader was a protest vote.
