I think in the booth, they'll realized they're enabling Bush AGAIN, and vote for Kerry.

90,000 people thought "in the booth" in Florida in 2000...and they pulled the Nader lever. Didn't they know they lived in a state where the election was up for grabs then? Personally I don't think that Nader voters think in the booth or out of the booth.

Modern polling data is pretty darn good. In fact we know the probable outcome of any election well in advance of any thinking in the booth. What the polls tell us is that the country is split. The votes are going to be split down the middle again this year, meaning that every vote will count. Notice as well that there are no independent candidates on the right flank of Bush, Like a Buchanan. This will add extra votes in the Bush column, while Nader subtracts from Kerry.

IMHO, Nader is going to be a key element in the race. The polls already reflect the anger factor. And most polls have Kerry winning without Nader, and Bush winning with Nader. So anyone who does not recognize the importance of Nader in the election is simply blind with anger.
