Matt, I can totally understand, I would probably vote Green or Democrat or minority party as well but with the note that it would be out of principle. Like you state about your choice for Nader.
From what I have learned from politics - especially multi party systems - I can tell you that you'll always help out the more powerful candidate/party in the end when you vote for the minority party. But I wouldn't recommend strategic voting, this often results in less of a difference between those that still have a winning chance. But it is what a lot of people around the world do - vote strategically and thus causing pollution within the voting system. Diluting differences and results.
To all I say vote for the candidate you want to end up being the next president of the US. For me it could not possibly be a republican, the way things are forced out in such a black and white manner.
