The only real protest vote is a vote for Kemp to end the sclerotic one-party rule of the right-wing Democratic party. Then we can elect a left-winger in 1992.

I feel like the public results are encouraging turnout: it's been a while we haven't had 69 votes.

Yeah... down with those horrible right wing democrats that supported equal rights for women and minorities, pro choice policies, lowering the voting age to 18, repealing "right to work" laws, and abolishing the electoral college in favor of a direct popular vote.  All clearly horrible policies that will bring us back to the stone age.
As if Jesse Jackson didn't stand for those things and more?

So is anyone who disagrees with you on any issue at all right-wing? If so, you have a very strange definition of left vs. right.

I think this is over, I don't see Kemp getting an extra 9 votes.

It seems the Democrats have had an absolutely rock solid 25-30 votes recently. The GOP is so close, yet so far!

And that's how we ended up with modern day Democratic party. Also I voted strategically for the Democrats or Progressives a couple times earlier instead of Socialist party, and I didn't vote for Socialist Labor against the Socialists despite agreeing more with their platform.

I'm not sure how this answers my question...

Maybe what you need is Ross Perot's charts of destiny.  Wink

Yes, I think Perot and Nader could be a big thorn in the side of the Democrats. We may not see President Cuomo or President Bradley.

I'm not a protectionist, but I could definitely back Perot depending on the Republican candidate. Nader? Well, perhaps not. Wink (Of course, Democrat over Nader if the GOP nominee is rubbish!)

I'm predicting Cuomo v. Bush v. Perot '92, Cuomo v. Kemp v. Perot '96 (assuming Cuomo wins the GE '92), Bradley v. Nader v. McCain '00. Then I don't know at all really.

Jesse Jackson was an anti-Semitic, womanizing bigot.

I still have a Perot bumper sticker somewhere.  Granted, I have it just because it's cool memorabilia, not because I was driving back then.

Look people, let's make a deal. Can we have Cuomo from 1993-1997 and then Perot 1997-2005? I really want at least one term of Cuomo. Sad

How about two terms of Cuomo, one of Nader, two of Dean, and then Cain 2012?

I could deal with that. Then two terms from Nader, then we take back 'Murrica!

Only if he's someone's VP. The best way I can think to work him in would be a Cuomo/Kennedy ticket '93-'01, then Teddy '01-'09, then possibly Nader '09-'13 (he got 0.56% in '08, is that below the cutoff? Do we have a cutoff?), then the Cain Train '13-Forever.

You know what? I'm officially endorsing this as the Alfred F. Jones Approved Sequence of Presidents for the Future.

I officially anti-endorse it.  Also I will support any Republican ticket running against any Democratic ticket with Ted Kennedy on it.  I don't care what his politics are, the man proved himself to be unfit for elected office when Chappaquiddick happened.

We can do Bradley 2000 then.
