Vote Pairing Again?
I asked before and do so again. I'm in Mississippi. Should I consider vote pairing? Read this. Four years ago today, I wrote a piece for Slate called "Nader's Traders: How To Save Al Gore's Bacon by Trading Votes on the Internet." http://slate.com/id/2108641/

If I say I'll vote swap with you-
how do you know I'm telling the truth & won't vote for Bush?

What's wrong w/Kerry winning the electoral & popular vote.
any vote not for Kerry is a vote for Bush.
Do you want to vote for Bush?

2. I wouldn't consider it for a second
Look, I'm in MA. Kerry may not absolutely need my vote, but I wouldn't trade my for anything. Here's why:
1. I think Nader is being disingenuous in this election. I liked him (but didn't vote for him) in 2000, as I thought it was good to have a voice from outside the traditional political spectrum. In this campaign, what has he said or done that would draw your support? If he's in it raise issues, why isn't he raising issues?
2. There are freepers using vote-pair. Anyone considering swapping votes should know that they may just be giving their vote to Bush.
