Doug,
And with Gus Hall dead, they were lacking a
candidate...
Heck, if one wanted to protest, Nader was a wimp
and so was even McReynolds. Might as well show
how off the CPUSA is and vote for the SWP just
to show how right "that prostitute Trotsky" is. And
they even had enough votes in Florida to give it to
Bush. The power!!!
I have no comments on your (and my) yankee-centrism,
but do note (for Paul Phillips' benefit) that both Poland
and Slovenia avoided having noticeable increases in
their Gini coefficients since 1989, in contrast to Russia,
Ukraine, and even China, not to mention lots of other places.
