I live in Michigan which was expected to be close. Had I lived in a more solidly blue state, it might have been different.

I liked Al Gore well enough and I was scared shitless of Bush. I was sympathetic to Nader's message, but at the end of the day I didn't buy the "not a dime's worth of difference" argument Nader made with respect to Bush and Gore and I think history has demonstrated the wisdom of that judgement.

Every person who voted for Nader did so for their own reasons, some I respected, and others were just transparent poseurs. I'd be lying if I said those poseur-types didn't kinda piss me off. So, I won't defend anyone's vote for Nader unconditionally and I won't categorically criticize it either.
