maybe point-out, to your 18 year old niece, that voting isn't about "picking a winner" . . .it's about voicing direction.
When Ross Perot ran, I doubt he thought he would win. The votes he won, however, did greatly influence the politicians about some fiscal responsibility.
Should she throw a vote Naders direction, she will be helping direct the political focus a bit more to the greeners. . .. Should she throw a vote the Libertarians direction, she will be helping direct the political focus to less bureaucracy/"big govt".
