Curt says:
I've *never* heard anyone allege that Nader would have been Condorcet
Winner. That would mean the population would have preferred him head-
to-head over the Democrat in sincere votes.
I reply:
Curt, check the text that you copied (below), and you'll find that I was
referring to polls. Not only _would_ Nader be CW in those polls, but Nader
_is_ CW in most rank-balloting polls.
Perhap you thought that I was saying that the polls prove that Nader would
be CW in a public rank-balloting election. But did I say that? I said that
the polls show Nader to be CW, and that's an accurate stastement.
No one can guess what would happen in a public election if we used a better
voting system, or if we had the fair media coverage that I described. So I
won't debate with you how Nader would do. But I will say that one rarely
meets a Democrat voter who thinks that Kerry is as honest as Nader, or who
likes Kerry's policies as much as those of Nader.
Curt, could it be that you have your head up your tv?
