A Nader candidacy helps elect Dean!
By making him look "moderate" to the person who isn't paying attention.

Unfortunately, much of politics is perception, and I suspect the Dean campaign will have a field day showing Bush as one extreme, Nader as the other, and Dean as the voice of sanity and moderation in the middle.

And somehow I don't think Nader's "they are all the same so vote for me" will be very convincing to most folks this time around.

So I actually hope Nader runs, and helps propel Dean to the Presidency.
