Seriously let this be the last post. I supported Nader before in 2000, but not anymore. His politics are not Republican, but they are way old. I think we just need to ignore him, thus the no more posts suggestions. RIP.

Said it in a different forum, but those of you who think Obama or any Dem will win by a landslide are delusional. He probably will win, but in the past 40 years name me one Dem president who has won by a landslide? I could name a few Repubs, but Dems who win the presidency don’t win by landslides, they win with one or two states to spare. Start looking at the electoral votes and it will again come down to a few states like Ohio, Florida, Missouri, Colorado, Virginia, even Oregon and neither candidate is going to take anything like 40 states and even 60-65% of the electoral votes.

DK, I am totally with your point of view. Anyone who doesn’t do their homework on who and what they are voting for are fools. I think Ron Paul and Ralph Nader both have excellent points that most americans would agree with. I’m having trouble deciding between the two of them, who I like more. Who knows there may be yet another candidate that is even better. I’ve mostly voted my conscience in the past and the one time I did’nt I regret it. I’m hoping every American will stop and consider other options before they just vote for a dem or rep candidate. Real choices exists!

JT,
Regarding: “cursory analysis of Obama’s supporters shows a level of enthusiasm that has not been seen in America for decades”.
And that is the problem – people like you have enthusiasm for a smooth talking, corporate funded sob that promises great change while having a record of non-change, instead of supporting legitamate third party candidates that are not corrupt.
Why if you and so many others want change, do you only support the system of Institutionalized corruption instead of supporting the real people that represent real change?
Does it feel good to fool yourself?

Complete red herring argument. Making the contention that Nader “spoiled” the election for Gore is not saying anything about any other third party candidates. It is not the same thing as saying “third party candidates spoiled the election for Gore,” which is what the author turned his article to address, but I’ve never heard anyone claim. In fact, the author verified the (granted, over-simplified) assertion that Nader did spoil it for Gore in the third paragraph!

ftec; You really don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m not even sure you want to know what you are talking about because even the must cursory analysis of Obama’s supporters shows a level of enthusiasm that has not been seen in America for decades. Got any extra anti-Hillary votes? We’ll take them too…jt

Ralph Nadar probably cost Al Gore the election and secured the margin of victory for George W. “Scrub” Bush, who is probably the most incompetent and certainly the most inarticulate sober president in American history. After that contribution to Western Civilization, Ralph Nadar could not command enough votes to spoil cabbage…jt

The reason Demacrats would worry is that;
“PEOPLE ARE VOTING AGAINST CLINTON NOT FOR OBAMA”………

I see the radioamerica crowd hit this story too! moveon=socialism
Nadar wants a third party. Why would anyone be against that? Oh yea I forgot The two partys want full control over OUR money. Each year they spend millions trying to keep their power over you. Wake up a third party is good for US “We the people” remember? this was a free country.
