If Dean wins the nomination, he won't need a spoiler. HE will be the spoiler.

[John Jorsett]

I see as an interesting scenario that the Dems somehow torpedo the Dean candidacy and HE runs third-party. The entire Angry Left would go with him and it would end up being much worse than having Nader run.

Gore will be the dem nominee. In fact, if he runs, Nader might do better this year than ever. If Nader opts not to run and then Gore is nominated, I hope some well meaning, sensitive, group of American patriots will quickly assemble to run a write in campaign for Nader in California and some of those other left wing places.

Nader could very well be the spoiler.

He could take away the only one or two states that dean could have a chance in.

I can see it now! Nader wins mass. and washington d.c. Bush wins wins the rest, the democrats win nothing, nada, zilch, not one state.

Go, Nadar Go! I am your supporter! Protect us 'less the covair comes back!

blessings, bobo

Wonder what Nader will do as Dean runs for the center after the nomination is over

[kennedy]

Ralph Nader, whose third-party candidacy cost Al Gore the presidency in 2000, seems unlikely to mount a run against the former Vermont governor.

Bummer. I was really looking forward to Nader and Dean fighting it out for the left wing fringe vote.

it sounds to me that little Allie Hunt is full of wishful-thinking and is whistling nervously in the dark........

"Reading his position papers sounds eerily similar to what we've been saying,..."

You both sound eerie to me, Ralph!
