55. The difference is that "moderate" dems are voting their interests
whereas Nader voters are voting irrationally, completely against their interests.

It's like watching a sports game where your team is about to win, until 10 seconds before the end of the game they all stop playing and do a little dance (allowing the other team to win). Of course you aren't going to be happy that the other team won, but they did what you expected them to do and try to take advantage of an opportunity to win. You would be much angrier at the losing team for blowing it when they actually had the chance to win.
