How much of a factor will Nader be this time around?
I know he was having problem getting on the ballot in a lot of places. Anyone have a breakdown of what battleground states in which he is on the ballot?

How many people here who voted for him in 2000 will NOT be voting for him again? What about friends and family?

Is there a valid reason for casting a vote for him? Given all the money and volunteer support he's gotten from the GOP, how could the purists he attracts even consider voting for him?

1. Apparently, he managed to snake his way
onto West Virginia's ballot, but I don't think he'll actually harm us here. I know a couple of conservative voters who are planning to vote for him because they don't want to vote for * but aren't prepared to vote for Kerry either. I think it might be a mistake for us to assume that those who vote for him would have voted for Kerry if he weren't a candidate.

2. I have thought that for a long time.
This time it will be republicans who cannot bring themselves to vote for * that will be voting for Nader. Wouldn't it be a hoot if it backfired on the republicans who are trying to get him on the ballot to hurt Kerry. LOL

3. That would be sweet justice indeed
If their plan resulted in siphoning more votes from Bush.
