Some glimmer of hope that we might avoid four more years of Bushworld, according to this article (r.r.) But before I can appreciate the moment, I once again am reminded that Ralph Nader will hand Bush II his re-election on a silver platter. I'm going to start a running tab for how many times this is pointed out -- and am counting the days until he does the right thing and drops out. Not that I expect the egomaniac to do any such thing. I just hope he will before it's too late.

"If the election were held today, 46 percent of registered voters would vote for Mr. Kerry and 44 percent for Mr. Bush, the poll found. With Mr. Nader in the race, Mr. Bush would get 43 percent, Mr. Kerry 41 percent and Mr. Nader 5 percent, suggesting that nearly all of Mr. Nader's support comes from voters who would otherwise back the Democrat."
