Yeah they do oppose eachother. This is a hot item in democratic/Nader Campaigns. See... last few years now we've had three candidates running, the normal two and someone who gets 1-3%. The problem is that last election in Florida, Nader cost the democratics the victory because Nader's views are similiar to that of the democrates. If there were no Nader, then democrats would have won. (They really did win on the recount, but it's too late... Gore would have won the first time around.)
How this relates to california: Everyone is mad at Nader because he "can not win." And screws up the voting by partitioning off the democratic vote, thus giving republicans an advantage. So... the two props I am guessing are people at ends with eachother trying to put Nader On the Ballot, or Off the Ballot so republicans don't get in.
In my opinon, it would be nice to have a third or fourth or fifth choice, but often times elections are about who you DO NOT want in office, more then they are about who you DO want in office.
So having multiple choices, although good, partitions off votes and could make the less dominant ideas of the country/state not heard. (i hope that was clear, thats the big issue.)
Nader speaks some good talk too... I'd vote for him, if only in the same step I could still vote against Bush. But I can't, i'm undecided as to what to do with the props relating to this candidate monkey business.
