Amusing stat in the CNN exit poll data, which I've been spending way too much time looking at. One of the questions is, "Vote if only Bush and Kerry were Running?" It provides an interesting sanity check on polls. Presumably the point is to guage to what extent Nader "spoiled" one candidate or the other. Anyway, the fun part is: 1% of Bush voters say that, if Nader hadn't been running, they would've voted for Kerry! And 2% of Kerry's voters said, if Nader hadn't been running, they'd've voted for Bush! Huh?

What's better is, 67% of those who "Would Not Have Voted" if "Only Bush and Kerry were running" voted for Bush or Kerry! What?! "Well, because Nader's running, I decided to vote for Bush, but if Nader hadn't been on the ticket, I would've stayed home." Yeah, got it...
