Gee, I think I'll vote for this candidate because his last name has the same amount of letters as my last name.

Sad, but true.

So, who voted for Ralph Nadar?
What I find strange is that more people don't go the absentee ballot route, avoiding lines and having to vote a specific day.....plus sitting around the living room thinking about the various choices seems like at good thing to do.

With that said, if one is in a part of the country that cannot seem to handle stuff on voting day - in other words, it's like a freeway at rush hour all day long - sane people would only go though that one time and vote absentee the next and each time.

As for the Nadar vote - probably VRM or Cobrabill, they may have changed from Ron Paul at the last minutes, or BO, "knowing" that Nadar has a better chance of winning this year. I'll bet those two also have had some good stock tips over time, like Enron.....
