A couple of more quick hits on recent events. I'd link a headline or two, but they are everywhere.

1. Who should John Kerry's running mate be?

A no-brainer. Katherine Harris, the Florida Secretary of State. She seems to be the key to winning the state!.

2. Will Ralph Nader draw enough votes away from John Kerry to throw the election to Bush?

Probably. Kerry can not (and probably does not want to) espouse a complete we will leave Iraq, Afghanistan and Haiti tomorrow position. I think there are enough disappointed peaceniks who "want to send a message," and who will vote for Nader to bring the boys home.
