And Nader volunteer James Williamson, 49, of Cambridge, Mass., says he is offended by the suggestion that his vote for Nader should have been traded in on Gore the way you might exchange a Christmas sweater. Williamson was inspired by Nader's passion for ending the raffling of public policy. "When I voted for Ralph, I was moved to tears. It was one of the few times in my life I could vote for someone I felt good about voting...

That's the way G.O.P. leaders will view Gore if he takes the election now. But Clinton gave Republicans no reason to revise their opinion, allowing a divisive social issue, gays in the military, to swamp the early weeks of his presidency and galvanize his opponents. Since Gore would have no political capital to spend, he would navigate with extreme care to avoid all ugly sideshows. And with Congress so evenly divided, he'd know...
