...when the Democratic party's spirit of inclusiveness drove many progressives to vote for Nader instead of Gore.
The rest is history.
Many Dems blamed Ralph Nader for costing Gore the votes needed in to win the 2000 election. If that is so, perhaps we should be asking ourselves how we can bring the party back together again in 2008.
This is how I view RFK Jr.'s endorsement of Hillary, as a move towards bringing more progressive votes into her column and helping to unite the party.
Unfortunately, this gesture seems to have produced the opposite effect among many of his staunchest supporters on the left, as the article posted above clearly illustrates.
