Surely there is a better way to raise these issues besides having Nader 
and Kerry (or Edwards[1]) lose.  Why don't Progressives, Independents, 
Natural Law-ists (Law-yers?), Libertarians, insert-third-party-here 
join forces and write their local congresscritters seeking change in 
the system? Whether it be instant-runoff voting, proportional electoral 
college votes (that is, send x% to the college who voted for one 
candidate and (100-x)% to the college who voted for the other,) or some 
other way to change the nature of our winner-take-all, 
first-past-the-post election system.  The fact is that is how it is 
run.  It's an exercise in futility for Nader to run again.

Blah,
Nick
[1] - why is Edwards still in the race?
