A Naderite for Kerry. It's no time for idealism.

Choose the lesser of two evils.

by Geov Parrish

I have a long history of supporting third-party and independent candidates for president. In 1996 and 2000, I voted for Ralph Nader. In my very first election, in 1980, I voted for Barry Commoner and the short-lived Citizens Party. And so it goes.

I've never been a fan of lesser-of-two-evils politics. I've always wanted to vote for someone I actually feel good about supporting, not simply someone who will do minimally less damage. Even if that candidate won't win—or, in the case of 2000, helps the worst candidate win—I've wanted my vote to be an affirmation, contributing to an understanding that there is at least some degree of popular support for the progressive policies my candidates generally have advocated.

But not this year. This year I'm voting for John Kerry.

2. Absentee Ballot

Does anyone know how to change an absentee ballot vote?

I think I've changed my mind.
