Because the Nader effect possibly did actually swing an election where as Perot wasn't that big a deal in the end. The Nader effect also was part of the dangling chad election and so will long be part of that story.
Again, vote however you wish that is the joy of having a system such as ours (both the US and the UK) and not one like Zimbabwe.
For me, I will admit that I want to get the republicans out of the White House more than I want Obama to be in it. I have no problems with Obama but I am not jumping up and down to praise him either. I do think it is time for a change (and I hate even saying that because it sounds like I 'bought' the campaign but it is just what I have said for years) and for me that means voting against the republican ticket rather than for the democratic ticket. To do that, I have to, in my mind, vote democrat for me to feel I tried.
