Nader actually helping Obama?

[dansolo]

I found it interesting that when Nader is included in the polls, Obama's lead over McCain increases. The speculation was that a big portion of the Nader voters are actually anti-Obama. They really aren't very enthused about voting for McCain, so McCain loses votes to Nader. Nader, that bastard Republican enabler, is actually becoming a spoiler for McCain. How's that for irony?

1. I think it hurts Obama.

The Nader voters are Anti-McCain(Bush), but they are bitter about Hillary or won't vote for a black guy.

2. Operation Chaos never really was too bright.

3. Nader & Barr will both help Obama. Nader doesn't pull youth, minorities or most women.

And those are Obama's supporters.

5. An ironic twist of fate that the "spoilers" actually help Obama this go.

The addition of Nader and Barr on the ballot jettison Obama to a 13-pt lead.
