Y2K Liberal voters guide. Option 1: Vote for Nader (Man: I'm through getting sold out by Democrats who act like republicans... I'm voting for the guy who killed the Corvair!) Result: Split of Democratic vote: George W. Bush wins. Option 2: Vote for gore (Television: It's raining in the midwest today, so we're projecting that democratic voters will stay home.) Result: Unified Gore vote unmotivated: George W. Bush wins. Option 3: Don't vote (Television: With 0.4% of the vote in, it looks like the republican sweep we predicted in 1999.) Result: Democratic turnout: George W. Bush wins. Option 4: Vote for Bush (Man: Not only did I enjoy the ironic detachment- now I'm on the winning team!) Result: The triumph of democracy.
