George Will, Nader Voter
He says both parties are the same, except when they're completely different. Well, it's a nice rhetorical exercise.
If I may editorialize a little, drawing a moral equivalence between the arrogance of neocon intellectuals and democratic thinkers is very modern, and very wrong. As a colleague says, "well I killled a man and you parked illegally - we're both criminals, so don't be judgmental."
Going on: "[Kerry's] biography suggests more banality than menace, although banality in high office can be its own kind of menace."
Given the choice of the current administration or banality, I will take banality in a heartbeat. And if George Will doesn't like it he can take his weird political aesthestic to France, where it belongs.

I just heard this put rather well:
"Far from being a choice between Coke and Pepsi, this election is a choice between Coke and arsenic."
