Only 24 votes proves your vote counts.

I don't know if this is the right place but,
If you need a reason to get out and vote I just passed over this at
http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/12/03/elec04.prez.gillespie/index.html

“RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie addressed students at St. Anslem College in Manchester, New Hampshire, the state that holds the nation's first presidential primary January 27……
President Bush carried New Hampshire in the 2000 election -- but only by 7,200 votes. Gillespie noted that was only a margin of 24 votes per precinct, and that if Bush had not carried the state, Democrat Al Gore would have won the election.
Gillespie said that Republicans have a goal of registering 22,000 new voters in the Granite State by November.”

If only 30 more of us per precinct had got out to the polls, just think of it.

Oh yeah, nothing is ever their fault.

3. unprincipled bastard! :p

greens vote for Nader because of PRINCIPLES... "something dems don't have"

hahah but you are right, had Greens voted Gore, at least in Florida, Chimpy wouldn't be prez.

But... if Dean wins next year, putting up with Chimpy would be worth it. :D

5. I feel sorry for all those Nader voters

They must be just about sick. I know I would be had I thrown away my vote and allowed * the little daylight he needed. Methinks, had I voted Nader, I would sure as hell be out campaigning for the Dem this next election. Or doing something else to atone for my SCREWUP!
