Of course it makes a difference. If it made no difference, the two-party
system would collapse overnight. Roosevelt was "better" than Hoover. LBJ
was "better" than Goldwater. And so on. You have two-party sytems in
Latin America as well. Nicaragua was run by either Liberals or
Conservatives for most of the century until Carlos Fonseca denounced the
 whole thing as a shell-game and took up arms to get rid of the system.
In the USA, we don't have to deal with the Guardia but with the enormous
weight of the propaganda machine favoring the status quo.

Since Saul Landau writes for them, it is no surprise that they are for
Kerry. The entire soft-left is for Kerry. Over here on Marxmail we
remain incorrigible.
