A Question For Ralph Nader............................................
" If you qualify for ballot access on so few state ballots, that even if you carried every on of those states, you would still fail to have the necessary 270 electors needed to win the election, would you consider abandoning your effort to become President this year?"

1. probable answer:
No, because I need to give Americans an alternative to the corporate sponsored candidates from the Republican and Democratic parties.

2. What alternative
if winning is impossible. Not 1,000,000 to one, legally impossible.

4. and I'm just telling you
what I'd say back.

It is an interesting question, don't you agree.

In fact, I heard a commentator ask it in a similar way, but Nader acted like he meant poll numbers. I understood the question, but Nader acted like he didn't, and there was no follow-up.

Boy, would I like someone to pin him down on that.

5. He'd probably just say it's important for Americans
to have the option, even if he's not fully capable of winning. I definitely agree with you, and I don't see the point in running at all where he has absolutely no chance of winning to begin with.

That's my question for him.
