NADER

I don't think Nader will make a big difference in this race. It was easy for Conservatives to embrace protest candidates like Perot or even Buchanan when they were in power. Liberals having Clinton in office might naturally want to overextend and go for Nader in 2000. When you're out of power you usually disregard the cranks and vote for the guy you think will defeat the enemy. That's why Republicans chose Bush in 2000. There wasn't even much of a primary. It was more or less a coronation with John McCain hanging on for dear life. It's also why Kerry is being chosen this time around. Edwards is losing because they want a nominee quickly to do battle with Bush. Nader hasn't been listening.
