Hi Susan,

The articles I recommended for a basis of debate on the electoral 
dilemma are:

Steve Shalom: "In Defense of Tactical Voting"
Thomas Harrison: "The Dead end of Lesser Evilism"
Michael Hirsch (less useful in my opinion): "Left Politics and 
Posturing…"

All three appear on New Politics, v.10, no 1, whole issue 37, Summer, 
2004.

They are posted at the web sites:

www.wpunj.edu/~newpol/issue37/Shalom37.htm
www.wpunj.edu/~newpol/issue37/Harrison37.htm
www.wpunj.edu/~newpol/issue37/Hirsch37.htm

They used to be posted on ZNET, but i"ve been unable to locate them 
there now. Perhaps that is due to their (long) lengths, but I am 
surprised they have been removed.

Of course, there are many other articles that deal with the issue, the 
the Shalom and Harrison articles present the opposing (leftist) 
viewpoints quite completely.

Happy reading,

Mort B
