MSNBC reports that the 18-29 age group is going big for Nader. Undoubtedly, this is symptomatic of the naivete of youth (I remember being gung ho for John Anderson in 1980 when I was 17) who don't realize that in life sometimes you have to choose something you're not wild about in order (Kerry) to avoid choosing something that is awful (Bush). Thankfully, back in 80, a) I was to young to vote, and b) Anderson's bloc of voters did not swing the election to Reagan, unlike 2000 when Nader's voters helped elect Bush.
