Libertarian Badnarik an Election Spoiler?

Mr. Slippery writes "The New York Sun points out that Libertarian Party candidate Michael Badnarik could tip the balance in this year's presidental election, like Ralph Nader is accused of having done in 2000. Bush's policies may be driving some traditional conservative Republican voters into the Libertarian camp. Rasmussen polls have put him as high as 5% in New Mexico and 3% in Nevada, which could make a difference in which major party candidate takes those states."

If the 2000 election was a statistical tie, and Bush can only lose votes since then...how could he win?

Two words: Electronic voting.

There won't be a recount in Florida this year, for obvious reasons. The fix is in. The only purpose of the Bush campaign is to keep the poll numbers up, so it won't be too obvious.
