The 60,000 Florida citizens who voted Green in 2000 didn't result in Nader for President (they did result in a nadir for the presidency, but that's different)

The parenthetical statement, while mildly funny, is unnecessarily political and detracts from the substance of your post.

Upvoting for capturing the remark for those of us who didn't catch it before it was edited out. Yvain has the best puns.
