I hope so. I guess I'm just feeling a little shell-shocked from too many close elections. And sometimes I feel a little perplexed about what the rest of the electorate wants--I mean, the ones who voted for Bush twice.

But 2008 promises to be a very different year, and the likely Democratic candidate inspires a lot more confidence than the last few have. If that holds true, then, yeah, Nader's role could be very different than in the past.

Crossing my fingers. :)
