I apologize in advance for this post. I set out to make it humorless, as opposed to the rest of what's on here where the humorlessness happens as a matter of course.

Last week the AM pointed me in the direction of this website that projects the electoral vote count based on the most recent polls, and I've checked it daily since. I can't not check it because I find it terrifying.

If Bush wins, I'll be very upset, but not with Republicans. As of today, Iowa and Florida are a dead heat. That's a total of 34 electoral votes -- enough to make either Bush or Kerry president. The upsetting thing is that Nader is polling at 2% in Iowa and 1% in Florida.

I don't know if it will help, but check out this website:
VotePair. It's designed to allow voters in "safe states" like Texas, Georgia, Illinois, or New York to trade their vote with a would-be third party "protest" voter someplace like Iowa or Florida. The idea is that Nader (or Cobb or Badnarik) will get a representitive number of votes nationwide, but won't fuck up the future of our country in the process.

And if you support Nader, please don't bother commenting. Instead, take that time to go fuck yourself. I'd rather see another four years of Bush than to listen to one minute of your bullshit.
