Firstly: The idea that Nader electors voting for Kerry would eliminate the
spoiler effect is unfounded - that only matters if Nader carries the state.

I reply:

It isn't that Nader electors would vote for Kerry after Nader carried the 
state. It's that Nader electors are Kerry electors, and so votes for Nader 
would count toward Kerry's electors.

It's been pointed out, and I didn't know it, that thet laws can vary 
radically by state.

You continued:

Secondly, I'll agree that there's no strong reason to suspect that Nader
has more support than Kerry.

I reply:

There's no strong reason to say that we know anything about that. As I said, 
it's a 0-info election, and the best 0-info strategy is sincere voting. 
Kerry is one of those politicians that people are referring to when they say 
all politicicians are liars & crooks, and they're all the same. Kerry is a 
perfect example of that. Everyone knows it. Nader draws overflow crowds 
wherever he goes.
