    "If the Democrats can't landslide the Republicans this year, they ought to just wrap up, close down, emerge in a different form..."
    He has a point.

    Even with Nader in there, the D's have to pull something pretty bloody stupid to lose. Maybe select Hillary.

    A chap on another forum put it rather well.
    find it laughable that the Democrats (or anyone) feel they can claim votes as "theirs" (else how would he have "stolen" them?)

    If you want to keep someone's votes, have a candidate with a policy who agrees with that voter.

    Nader isn't the visible entity he once was eight years ago. His entry into the race has barely registered in the press. He won't have an influence on the general election outcome.

    Ever notice the republicans don't bitch about Ralph (who took 25% of their vote, compared to 38% of the "Democratic" vote) or about the Constitution party or the Libertarian party of the Reform party.

    I guess they have more respect for the people than the "Democratic" party
