Dole is just making his chances worse.. JP>If Dole and an anti-2nd VP got elected, the VP would have an instant JP>power base within the Republican Party, and would be the JP>heir-presumptive to get the nomination after Dole's term(s) are over.

ML> There are only two with a realistic chance to attract enough votes ML> to win; Clinton and Dole. The others are just along for the ride. That's not realism. It is only true so long as most people believe it. If enough people decide the choices from the major parties are both lame, then anyone could win. Your belief is simply a self-fulfilling prophecy. Harry is pragmatic, he knows that he has only a slim chance at best the way things are. But given that there is no difference between Dole and Clinton from our perspective, you have nothing to lose by voting for a third party. Sure, Harry will probably at best get 10-15% barring something really stupid between now and November - but right now I'm not so certain the major parties won't do somethign really stupid by then. And the important thing. If real third parties get say 30% of the vote this year, that will be a warning to the major parties. They'll know that they either have to make changes by the next election, or they may be the "third party". Steve ...
