Vote pairing is back!

Vote pairing is back (http://www.votepair.org/) and look who's lending a hand this time.

The political dynamics are markedly different this year than in 2000, of course. With America's progressives focused like a laser-beam on ousting Bush and saving the Supreme Court, the pool of Nader-sympathetic progressives has already shrunk drastically. Yet, in a surprising twist, another group has stepped forward to offer hundreds of voters willing to pair: swing-state Libertarians appalled by the Orwellian, antichoice, antigay, and repressive policies of the budget-busting Bush administration. These voters want to declare for Kerry-Edwards and find progressives in closed states to vote for the Libertarian candidate Michael Badnarik. In this intriguing new alignment, libertarian groups, among them Libertarians for America and the Democratic Freedom Caucus, are sending their supporters to VotePair.

More proof that everything is for sale.  And Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

Not for sale. Just making sure your vote COUNTS. If I'm a Kerry or Badnarik supporter in a state like Texas, this may be the only way my voice can be heard. You say you're a third party person, AD. You're in a Red state. You could do your part.
