33. I wonder how many votes Nader would have gotten
had the Democrats run a liberal campaign.

But, no. You have to diss him for running?

That's a fine little democracy you have going there.

Tie yourself into knots if you choose. The fact is, Nader would have no supporters if the Democrats stopped catering to the right wing of the party.
