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.

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.
