67. The truth is more democrats voted for George W. Bush in 2000
Edited on Tue Nov-24-09 09:27 PM by AllentownJake
Than voted for Nader, if you look at voter registration numbers.

Al Gore didn't even carry Tennessee. Give it a fucking rest on the anti-Nader shit. I have no love for the man and can honestly say I've never voted for him, but here is the truth. Al Gore carries the state he was a Senator in, in 1992 Florida means shit.

Nader is a pesky little disruption that hasn't done anything useful in 20 years. He didn't cost Gore the Presidency. Exit polls have half the Nader voters possibly voting for Bush in 2000 if they were going to vote at all.

You want to get pissy about the Gore election, blame Warren Christopher. There are always going to be third parties on the ballot and a certain segment of people will vote for them.

If I'm in a swing state, I'll always vote democratic in a Presidential Election, you happy?
