What to make of this?

Excerpt:

------

THE POLL: CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corp. poll, presidential race in Michigan among registered voters

THE NUMBERS: Barack Obama 45 percent, John McCain 42 percent, Ralph Nader 6 percent

------

Link:  The Associated Press

Here is the actual PDF of the poll:

Back in 2000 when Nader really made a splash, I remember the UAW threatened to endorse him. They were really pissed off about Clinton and NAFTA, and hoped to get Gore to pay attention to an important constituency. There was some good logic in that tactic. Then.

This time around, it is insanity to be running around screaming there is no difference between to the two parties. The crazy thing is, some of the people who supported  Democrats during the primary, like Dennis Kucinich, are the ones who are now saying there is no difference! Yet Dennis Kucinich is a Democrat who supports Obama? I am waiting for the cognitive dissonance to cause their heads to implode, but I won't hold my breath.

Some of the peeps pushing Nader are starting to make me wonder; even more than the psychotic Hillary supporters who are still bashing Obama this late in the game. If they somehow manage to fuck up the election by helping to deliever a swing state like Michigan to McCain, the backlash against Naderites that was seen after the 2000 mess will pale in comparision.
