George,

This is just another reason I think you are great. I am voting for Gore with my head and my heart.

Nancy Damon (electronic mail, November 6, 2000).

Editor's Note: Having called attention to the Molly Ivins rule, "i.e. Vote with your heart where you can, and vote with your head where you must. In states where either Gore or Bush has a commanding lead, vote Nader. In the states too close to call, vote Gore. In either case, the imperative is to end Republican control in Congress by electing Democrats, also vital to the prospects for progressive change" (The Nation Poll Watch, November 6, 2000) and noted that The Nation has declared Virginia a swing state, I suggested that readers vote for Gore [whom I, of course, believe people should vote for anyway].
