30. Just a possible answer to the question asked.
This hard-on for Nader is a bit sad. It ignores the sorry ass campaign that Gore ran. More importantly it ignores the mass defection of Democratic voters to bu$h. Care to blame that on Nader too? Nader sure as hell ain't no saint but he was the figurehead of the Greens that year and as the Democratic Party saw fit to ignore the Left can you blame people for looking to raise a voice that they felt more represented them?I believe it's fair to say that the vast majority of Nader voters in 2000 expected Gore to win. I mean, how could a man like Gore lose to a wretched creature like bu$h? That he let himself get steamrolled in Florida and gave up the fight is less forgivable imho than Naders part. While his recent speeches have been good it's too little too late.
