4. I do! Each viable candidate needs as much time and exposure
as possible. That was a big problem with the primaries. There were just too many candidates. You really didn't get to know any of themv= very well.

It's not that I don't want Nader to let himself look like an idiot, I just don't want the time and distraction taken away from letting shrub look like an idiot too!
