1. This is a weird poll.
Reminds me too much of math class.

3. But it contains logical fallacies
Polling question options need to be exhaustive and mutually exclusive. If you are "anybody but Bush" then you cannot logically support Nader. A vote for Nader by definition admits that not just anybody would be better than Bush.

The position of anybody but Nader is even more muddled. If you are ABN, does that mean you'd like anyone at all to split the anti-Bush vote except for Ralph? I don't get ABN at all.

2. I'd vote for Nader if he were leading all candidates -ABB
In the extreme unlikely event that Nader were leading Bush and the Dem candidate were badly trailing the field, then I would vote for Nader to send Dumbya back to Crawford.

I consider the Detroit Tigers beating the Yankees in the American League Championship Series this year to have a significantly more likely chance of occuring.
