Question to any 2000 Green Party Voters out there
Knowing what you know now about the state our country is in, would you change your vote in 2000? If you voted in Florida, I would like to know that too because that really would have been the difference. This isn't meant to be a flame. I really am just curious about your hindsight attitudes. Personally, I regret not following through on my desire to travel to Ohio two weeks before the '04 election and volunteering.

1. No but I live in MA.

...there was zero chance of my 2000 vote having an undesireable effect.

Even still I voted Dem in 2004 just because I was so friggin angry about the swiftboating.

3. I don't think any 2000 Green Party voters have anything to be regretful...
...about.

Although, for the record, I voted for Al Gore here in California, I don't think it's fair people are still a bit sore that Green Party voters voted their conscience in 2000.

No one outside the current regime knew, that the SCOTUS would interfere, and give Bush the presidency; no one knew about Harris' purging of names of black voters by the thousands; that former Republican-recently-registered-just-before-the-2000 Pres. Election-Theresa Lapore<sp?> would design that idiotic "butterfly ballot".

We were all still under the assumption we had "free and fair elections".

Besides, who's to say the Greens would've voted for Al Gore to begin with?

And again Al Gore won in 2000 despite it all, remember?
