1. Worrying about Nader is a waste of time.

He is so last millenium.

[NV1962]

4. And about to be 70 years old

Nothing like a decrepit spoiler thinking he can breathe life into elections... Not with his breath, thankyouverymuch!

[benburch]

2. at least a million

in payoffs from the GOP

[Renew Deal]

3. His numbers could be better if there are a lot of pissed republicans.

They might vote for him. That's as good as staying home.

5. Yeah, they seem to like crazy narcissistic people

As an Indy though, Ralphie won't get on all of the ballots.

6. If Greens cant win San Francisco, how can they win the US or a state?

Greens cant even get a mayor elected in the most liberal city in the US- how are they planning on winning even one state...????

7. Less than last time, that 's for sure.

He's not a third-party candidate. He has not aged well (not talking about his health, but impression on the public). He will have less money than last time (unless bush gifts him some). And, he will probably not be able to get on the ballots without debilitating effort.

Oh, yeah. And the 3% who voted for him last time mostly realize that there really is a difference between the parties. I'm sure a lot of them in Florida and New Hampshire harbor a secret guilt, but most people won't accept responsibility for disasters and blame others -- even Nader voters.
