“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Nadered

He's on, and not just in Florida:
President Bush received a potential boost on Friday in his bid for re-election when a court ruled that independent candidate Ralph Nader, who experts believe helped Bush win four years ago, be placed on Florida's presidential ballot.

As the Republican and Democrat campaigns both claimed momentum amid a mix of polls offering a confused picture of the U.S. presidential race, Florida's Supreme Court ordered Reform Party candidate Nader be allowed to compete in the state that decided the 2000 election.

A judge also ordered that Nader be included on the ballot in Colorado, another state that voted for Bush in 2000 but where polls indicate a close race in the Nov. 2 election.

There's not much left to do but let out a sigh, and then vow to fight twice as hard to help get out the vote election day, either by pounding the pavement to register Democrats, helping people get to the polls, or even donating a couple of bucks to John Kerry or the DNC. Do what you can to help.
