Elections are not soda

Dean's explicit advice to his supporters not to vote for Nader is rubbing the usual utopians the wrong way. It's not clear to me why the concept of Anybody But Bush is so difficult to understand for the fringe left.

The Presidency, however, is too important to risk when the current occupant is incompetent on the order of George Bush.
