I voted for Nader in 2000, so I can totally sympathize.  In my defense,
I was in California at the time, and I knew there was no chance it would
go red, no matter how well Nader did.  Colorado in 2008 is obviously
much closer.

electoral-vote.com says there's a possibility Barr would cost the GOP
Georgia.  It's based on a huge African-American turnout and Barr getting
8% (he's polling at 8% now).  I don't see it happening, but I get a
little chuckle every time I think of it :)
