How do we know Nader voters will vote for the dem nominee?

[ringmastery]

Many might stay home or if he wasn't on the ticket vote for the communist or socialist party candidate as a protest vote.

I don't really think the people who would vote for Nader are the type who would vote for Bush or Kerry. They know they are throwing their vote away and the guy has no chance of winning. It's pretty much a protest vote.

Last time it was a protest vote. This time it is just too important. I can't speak for too many other Greens, but the couple that voted for Nader with me (in New York), will be voting for the Dem this time.

Anyway, I think our point was made--the party has returned to its roots as demonstrated by Lieberman's poor showing in the primary.

3. If you're talking about folks who voted green in 2000

you'll find a lot of them will be voting Dem this time around. I can think of two right here in my household.

7. Not true. Most of them were protest votes

Most of them are voting Dem this time. The Nader threat is really not that significant this time.

9. As long a the major parties

treat Nader like they did by shuting him out I will support him.

Face it - Gore and Bush agreed on most everything in the debates.
Nader was the one alternative viewpoint - the one that made sense.

Two sides of the same coin is not good enough.
