Firstly - where is 'none of the above' - a vital part of any election I think!

And - is this your way of finding out how much you stand to lose in bets???  :P

Despite having disenfranchised myself by viewing the results, I would still like to know whether you'd like those not eligible to vote in the actual election (such as we europeans) to vote in your poll for:

A) The candidate they would most like to see as next president of the US given that they themselves would not be governed by him (Nader)

B) The candidate for whom they would vote were they a US citizen (Kerry)

C) The candidate they expect to win the actual election (Bush)

cheers

The "Democrat and Republican spoilers" will keep Nader off the ballot in many states in order to fraud the American public by not allowing them a third choice on the ballot. More than one third of the voters in this country are "Independent voters".  

Ralph Nader has spent his lifetime working for every Man, Woman, and Child, in America.  He has devoted his life to defending, informing, and activating Americans.  Hundreds of millions have been helped by the work of Ralph Nader.

Nader is the man for the job.

I am on the Ralph Nader diet.  I run for about a month and then sit back on the couch for another four years.

In truth, Ralph Nader has done a lot of good, but he is unelectable.  He has turned into something of a nut.  When the Green Party doesn;t want you as your candidate you know you are in trouble.

This just proves to me that fibs is filled with beatnik hippie types.  Peace my brothas and sistas, but I pray at the temple of the all mighty dollar$$$!!!!!

Bush is now considerable favourite to win this election - market price is around 70% Bush 30% Kerry - checkout the graphic I've posted to the Bush V Kerry election forum if you're interested.
