goodbye, Ralph Nader

One bright spot in Tuesday's election results is the miserable performance of Ralph Nader at the polls. In Florida, where the Nader vote made a difference in 2000, Nader got a mere 31,849 votes or less than one-half of one percent of the votes cast for the eight (yes, 8) Presidential candidates. To put it another way, he got substantially fewer votes in a statewide race than "Bubba the Love Sponge" got in a countywide race for Sheriff. "Bubba" got nearly four times the number of Nader votes.

You could call this Nader's Nadir. I hope this marks the end of Nader as a political figure. Goodbye, Ralph. Go away. You are unsafe at any speed. I hope we never hear from you again.
