Pouring over some old exit polls, I came across this, from 2000's CNN poll:

13% of the population characterized Bush as being "too liberal."

Of those people, 81% (or about 11% of the overall population) voted for Gore instead.  In other words, 11% of the population thought Bush was too liberal and voted for Gore - 1 in about 9 voters.

About 1 in 256 people thought Bush was too liberal, but voted for Nader.

Thus, about 14% of Nader voters (around 1 in 7)  thought Bush was "too liberal."

Sad, sad, sad.

None of that's insane compared to voting for Bush!
