In response to: Cindy Sheehan - A Sarah Palin Of The Left?
"I asked her specifically about the 2000 election, where the corporate sponsored GOP stole the election from Democrat Al Gore with the willing assistance of Ralph Nader's Green Party. "

Are you suggesting that Ralph Nader helped Bush and company rig the election? Unlikely. What you probably meant to write was that you think Gore would have gotten more votes if Nader hadn't been in the running. Well, if you and other Democrats believe that, here's the solution: instant runoff voting.

Instant runoff voting allows voters to rank their choices. If no candidate wins a majority in the first round, then the lowest vote-getter is eliminated, and those ballots then go to the voters' second choice, instead of being thrown out. That way, no one can win without a majority (as Bush and Clinton did), and every vote counts. More info at fairvote.org

Since 2000, the Green Party has been working to make instant runoff voting a reality, while the Democrats have been working to throw Green candidates off the ballot. However, I'm still optimistic that the Democrats will someday side with democracy.
